Jimmy Meadows text'd me to say he had all 3 species of Woodpecker at Crooke Wood, Wigan, today (SD547075) but the Lesser flew off S over the canal and river to a line of trees adjoining the railway line, off Ackhurst Lane.

The Smew - that may have roamed off,  up the Abram Flashes to the Wigan Flashes. They often do!
