THIS woodpecker perched on a tree is our photo of the week.
Photographer Franziska Trodd, of Waverly Road, Harrow, seized the opportunity to take this shot in Northumberland Road, Harrow.
She said: “He surveyed the area, then flew down to feed on lots of ants on the lawn.”
Chief photographer Peter Beal, who picked it as this week’s winner, said: “It’s not the kind of shot you can prepare for because photographing animals, especially birds, can be unpredictable.”
