Lilies

Trebah is sporting some very pretty arum lilies.  They are all over the top part of the garden and look very beautiful when the sun shines on them.  Here are some of the photos I took.  

 Arum Lily or Calla Lily (Zantedeschia aethiopica)


I also saw a Great Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos major) but unfortunately didn't get a photograph.  This species of woodpecker (and the lesser spotted (Dendrocopos minor)) is noted for its drumming on hollow trees unlike the green woodpecker.  There are 8 species of woodpecker in Europe but only the three species mentioned above can be found in the UK.
