Weekly Photograph

Noreen found these two feathers in the garden yesterday afternoon. They are from a Greater Spotted Woodpecker. The top one, a secondary wing feather, is about 8.5cm in total length. The lower is a primary feather. Note the feathers come from different wings, as they curve in opposite directions.
