I saw a woodpecker yesterday and heard it today. He has red and white in his feathers. I tried to take a photo but my phone naff.
Hi Dionne
Almost certainly Great Spotted Woodpecker. This is a link to some info about them on the RSPB site:

Keep spotting.
That is definitely the one I saw. He was a bit shy too. Thankyou so much for your reply!!
