An occasional visitant. A few years ago, I saw one at Alnwick Castle, which was killed 

 at Huln Abbey. Two specimens were some time ago shot near Stockton upon Tees, one 

 of which is now- in the possession of Mr. R. R. Wingate. The Messrs. Hancock have an- 

 other, which was killed at Streatlam, in the county of Durham.

Green Woodpecker, Br. Zool., Arct. Zool., Lath. Syn., Mont. Ornith. Diet., Bewick's Br. 



Birds, Selby's Illus. Br. Orn., Flemm. Br. Anim. 



The Green Woodpecker is seldom seen in the northern parts of Northumberland. I 

 have, however, met with it in the woods about Huln Abbey, near Alnwick, and upon the 

 banks of the Wansbeck. It is common about Durham, and indeed in all localities where 

 timber abounds, and has attained an advanced age. 



103. PICUS MAJOR. GREAT SPOTTED WOODPECKER. 



Picus major, Linn. Lath. 

 Picus varius major, Raii, Briss. 

 Pic Epeiche, Temm. Man. d'Ornith. 



Great Spotted Woodpecker, Br. Zool., Arct. Zool., Lath. Syn., Mont. Ornith. Diet., Bewick's 

 Br. Birds, Selby's Illus. Br. Orn., Flemm. Br. Anim. 



I have met with this species in Northumberland, more frequently than the Green Wood- 

 pecker. Indeed, I am inclined to think, that they migrate from the more northern countries 

 of Europe in Autumn, as I have obtained many specimens towards the fall of the year, some 

 of which were killed near the coast, and in places where trees are far from abundant. 



104. PICUS MINOR. LESSER SPOTTED WOODPECKER 

 Picus minor, Linn., Lath. 



Picus varius minor, Briss.
