Dear Friends
Wish you were here! The weather here at the moment must be the best in the world. It is not too hot, it is not too cold, there is no wind, the sky is clear and blue and the ocean is a glorious calm aquamarine. We have even had a good rain. What more could we ask for?
Sitting on the StoepCricket. I can hear you saying ‘Not again’ but this is special – and pure nostalgia!
The Year: 1956/57
The Venue: A Pub in Rondebosch Cape Town – cnr Main Road and Roukoop Road
The Players: Richie Benaud and Tony Border
‘Cricket?’ You might well ask. ‘An Australian Test Cricketer and a UCT student?’ Not possible. But then, did you read ‘The Venue’?
It was late; the resident pianist had gone home and after urging and encouragement from his mates Tony grabbed a beer, sat down at the piano, started playing and the party went on.
A little bit later Richie Benaud and Ian Craig (the Australian Cricket Captain) both smartly dressed in tie and blazers walked in looking bright eyed and bushy tailed.
Benaud to Border – ‘Do you mind if I play the piano with you and do you want the bass or treble?’
Mind? Of course I didn’t! I chose the treble and Richie Benaud drew up a chair and sat down beside me and started playing a boogie bass which I still play to this day. We had a great time playing all the Bill Haley and the Comets numbers which were then top of the pops – those new hits of Rock and Roll
• Get into the Kitchen and Rattle Those Pots & Pans• See You Later Alligator• Singing Your ABC – with Rhythm & Blues• Rock, Rock, Rock Everybody• Rock Around the Clock - and more
and of course we were singing the songs because we all knew the words!
We had a wonderful evening with lots of fun and laughter. In those days touring teams didn’t play on Sundays so players had Saturday nights off (and a bit of Sunday morning!).
Benaud was a good pianist and he established himself as a top Australian test player on that tour taking over 100 wickets and making four centuries as well. I liked him immensely and I thought of him often over the years as he just got better and better. When he stopped playing cricket he became a great commentator with a wonderful sense of humour. So I felt very sad when he passed away during this past month as I always considered him a great friend even though I only met him once – he was that sort of chap. RIP Richie Benaud.
Birds, Beasties, Trees, Updates and Important Things
Answers to last month's questions: Janet: it seems that your bird visitor was indeed an Ovambo Sparrow Hawk. Well identified.
Steven thinks the mystery bird is an Indian Mynah. He has seen a number of them without feathers on their heads, but has no idea how or why they lose these feathers.
One of our residents had this to say: After doing some research (thanks Google!), and on advice from Sharon, I purchased some salt lick blocks which I placed around the garden. The porcupines disappeared and the remaining lilies are now all in pots. Problem solved. Is this saying that the salt blocks were so revolting that they didn’t bother to come back again?

Nature’s True Colours
There were many beautiful colourings of the Goose – well done. It is always difficult to choose the winner, but this month it is Frederique, aged 4.
CrackerjackFrom an Australian Poet’s poem’ Ye Wearie Wayfarer’ (1866)
“Life is mostly froth and bubble,Two things stand like stone,Kindness in another’s trouble,Courage in your own.”Adam Lindsay Gordon (1833 – 70)
So when talk turns to cricket I can say that I played with the great Australian test player, Richie Benaud and that we enjoyed an innings together. So what if we batted on the piano, we were on pitch; we chatted between overs and he did show me some left-handed spin with his boogie bass.
So I was very lucky And I trust you will be too And to Richie ‘Thank you’ and rest easy in the place where good cricketers go.
We are all very lucky!

Chairman's Note
DHA Chairman: Costa Spheris
Commissioner of OathsResidents are advised that Jill Terreblanche has been appointed as a Commissioner of Oaths. Should you need documents certified you are welcome to visit Jill at the DHA offices – 011 875 0451.
Going Green! DayYou are just about to get dinner underway when, oh shucks, Eskom switch off the electricity due to load shedding or you have a household filled with visitors and a water pipe bursts in Fourways and lo and behold the water is shut down for the repair! These are just some of the frustrations that we deal with on a day to day basis. One way to overcome these challenges that are faced by South Africans every day is to “get off the grid” so to say.
There are various options available to us all but how do we do it and which is the best way to proceed. To answer these questions and many more, the DHA will be hosting a Go Green! Day at the Clubhouse on 16 May 2015 from 10h00 to 14h00 where a number of alternative energy and water suppliers will be available to speak to you about how to get your property off the grid – this will assist Residents when load shedding or water cuts occur!
We invite Residents who are involved in alternative energy or water supply businesses to showcase their products to the Dainfern Residents. To reserve a table at the Go Green! Day, please e-mail Laura at [email protected] with your company name, a contact name, the product or service you supply, contact numbers and e-mail addresses.
We are limited to 25 tables inside the Clubhouse and these tables will go on a first come first serve basis. We already have thirteen tables booked so don’t waste any time if you want the residents to see your products – reserve your table today!

Questions for next month's issue can be emailed to [email protected]. For assistance in any property transfer matters kindly contact me on details below:
What is the Seller’s responsibility in the sale of his property where latent defects surface?
Property MattersAll your property related questions answered
The “Voetstoots” clause completely liberates a Seller from any liability for patent defects (defects which can easily be seen on viewing the property) but this exemption is not absolute in the case of latent defects.
Latent Defects are faults that are not immediately visible on viewing the property for example the house was newly painted in order to conceal defects, such as damp. The test is what could not normally be seen on inspection.
The Seller’s ResponsibilityAccording to South African court cases, a Seller is only excused from liability for latent defects where he himself was not aware of at the time of the sale. A Seller who knowingly conceals a latent defect will be liable to the Buyer for the cost of repair. In such a case he cannot rely on the “voetstoots” clause.
A Seller will thus be liable for damp and other similar faults deliberately hidden from view.
Damp in Sectional Title If the moisture is coming from pipes in shared walls, which take water to your section and also to other sections or the common property, then the body corporate is responsible for the maintenance and repair thereof. They will similarly be responsible to reimburse the cost of any repairs to your section caused by the leaking pipes. If the pipe only serves your section and the faulty area of the pipe is situated in your section, then you would be responsible for the area of the pipe situated in your section.
Why do you need to treat the damp?Damp is usually treated for purely cosmetic reasons, i.e. to remove the obvious symptoms that people can see and smell. However, long term effects are damaging and can be costly.
Where the damp has caused fungi this could also pose a health risk.
All treatments done through certified experts, come with a manufacturers guarantee. The product used, determines the guarantee provided. The Length of guarantee should be confirmed prior to any work commencing.
The Buyer’s RecourseA buyer by law cannot do any of the following:• He cannot obtain a quotation and deduct the
cost of repairs from the purchase price and tender a lesser amount (or reduce his deposit);
• He cannot refuse to pay occupational rental or any portion thereof unless the defective article seriously restricts occupation of the property;
• He cannot repudiate or cancel the sale contract;
• The remedying of Latent defect expires (or prescribes) three years after the owner first becomes aware of the existence of the defect;
• By law his proper recourse is to institute an action for damages.

Interior Paint Guide
Paint Ideas
Nothing can alter a room's appearance and mood like a new coat of paint. For a small investment of time and money, you can update any living space. You'll learn about two common types of paints and how to choose the paint best suited for your project. In addition to learning how to choose paint, painting terms, surface preparation and application techniques are also explained.
What is paint?Paint consists of:• Pigments for colour.• Binders that hold the pigments together.• Liquid that disperses and delivers the pigments.• Additives that supply traits such as moisture
resistance.Pigments, binders, and additives are solids that stay on the painted surface. The liquid evaporates (or cures). Product labels reference the percentages of solids in paint. A higher percentage usually indicates a thicker, better covering paint.Two common types of paint are available:
Enamel paint - (solvent-based) (oil)• In oil-based paint, the liquid solvent is mineral spirits.• Oil-based paint dries slower than PVA (water based
paint) — usually taking 24 hours to cure.• Clean up with turpentine or thinners.
Water-based (PVA)• The liquid is water.• An advantage to PVA paint is that it dries relatively
fast, which may or may not be desirable in hot weather or direct sunshine.
• Clean up is faster, requiring only soap and water.
Choosing paintWhen painting indoors, use paint marked as "Interior" or "Interior/Exterior."
Exterior paint is not for indoor use. Plus it doesn't dry as quickly and has a stronger odour — an important factor inside the house.• Sheen is the term used to describe the degree of
light reflection a paint has. Usually the less sheen an interior paint has, the less stain-resistant it is. Different manufacturers may have various trade names for them, but in general sheens are classified as "Gloss," "Semi-Gloss," "Satin" and "Flat."
• Gloss is the toughest. It's also an easier surface to clean, which makes it a good choice for areas of high traffic or constant use. Gloss is most often used on woodwork, baseboards, and kitchen and bath walls. Gloss paint will, however, show imperfections in the surface more than other sheens.
• Semi-gloss paints are also durable and easy to clean, but have less shine than gloss. They are just as suitable for woodwork, kitchens, baths, and other high traffic or high-humidity places.
• Satin offers a good combination of easy-clean and moderate sheen.

Paint Ideascontinued from page 14
• Eggshell is a smooth, low-sheen finish that has less sheen than satin. It is ideal for living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms and dens.
• Flat paint is considered non-reflective and a good choice for large wall and ceiling areas. It also hides imperfections well and spatters less when applied.
If you want to change colours, think about buying a small quantity of your colour choice. Before purchasing several gallons, paint a small area and wait a few days. Paints can react to each other and cast reflections that may change the appearance of a room. Colours may look different under various types of lighting or in the sunshine.
How much paint do i buy? Use a handy online paint calculator. (plascon & dulux websites).
Need a primer? A primer will help paint adhere to the surface, providing a more uniform appearance. Use a primer when painting over new wood, drywall, bare wood, or repainting over existing bright or dark colours. Ask your salesperson and read the labels before making this decision.
Can i paint oil-based paints over pva paints and vice versa? The most important thing to know is the condition of the surface itself. Regardless of whether the base coat is oil or water based, you must dull glossy paint by sanding or de-glossing with a chemical de-glossing product. If you don't dull glossy paint, the second coat will streak and not stick to the base coat when drying.
Paint TermsWhen reading the paint can, you may come across one or more of these interior paint terms:• Hiding power — The ability of a paint to obscure or
hide the surface to which it is applied. Hiding power is provided by the paint's pigment. Hiding power is affected by how thickly the paint tends to apply and how well brush marks flow out.
• Adhesion — The ability of the paint to grip or adhere to a surface.
• Spatter resistance — The tendency of paint to throw off small droplets during application, particularly by roller. Paints with good spatter resistance are easier and more pleasant to use.
• Colour acceptance — The development to its full intended colour whether application is by spray, brush or roller.
• Touch-up — The capability of paint to produce the same appearance when used for touch-up as when the paint was originally applied.
• Stain resistance — The capability of the paint to resist retention of household dirt and stains.
• Stain removability — The ease with which stains, dirt or grime can be removed from the surface.
• Scrub resistance — The capability of the paint to maintain its colour when subjected to repeated washing or scrubbing.
• Burnish resistance — The capability of a paint to resist taking on an increase in gloss or sheen when subjected to rubbing, scrubbing or bumping an object against it.
• Block resistance — The capability of a paint, when applied to two surfaces, not to stick to itself upon contact when pressure is applied. Good block resistance helps keep a door or window from sticking.
• Print resistance — The ability of a paint to resist marking or taking on the imprint of an object that is placed on it, such as a shelf with books on it.

Art as Investment
Living with artFor some people buying a beautiful painting or sculpture is simple. They see a piece, fall in love with it and buy it. The puzzle of placement never arises, as it is secondary to the possession of the item itself. This is usually the case when the client is a collector, or wishes to invest in a particular piece of art. In a case like this, the artwork takes priority, and décor may need to compromise to accommodate the new piece.
Some people visiting the gallery are a little hesitant to commit themselves to a particular piece, as they may be uncertain how it will work within their space, or whether it will work at all.
There are a few basic guidelines which may be of some assistance to someone who loves art, but is not confident when placing it.
There are those who believe that their houses are too small to accommodate art. There is also the temptation to crowd a small room with a collection of small pieces, creating a blurred image, rather than a focussed one. Rather hang one large piece, perhaps a monochrome charcoal work or a photograph, where the picture itself contains an area of space. This will open up a small room, and, especially when used in conjunction with a mirror, give the impression of a much larger area.
Where a room already contains a lot of colour, consider buying a painting featuring one or two of those colours. This works extremely well if you use abstract pieces.
Many modern homes are finished and furnished in earthy or neutral tones. These wonderfully un- fussy spaces allow one total freedom to indulge when it comes to buying art. The focus is on the beautiful, possibly very colourful art treasure, with little to distract the eye. Stephan Welz once advised me that the most important consideration, every single time you buy a piece of art , is that you must love it. If you only buy what you love, there is little likelihood that your pieces will clash. On the other hand, if your decorator has persuaded you to purchase a painting that you don’t like because it goes with the cushions, it is probably not going to grow on you. Rather change the cushions.
The Gallery offers a service whereby if you like a piece, we will deliver it so that you can try it in your space before you make a final decision. That way we have happy clients, and you will not regret your purchase.
WHEN ARE YOU COMING TO BED?
This little fellow is waiting for you to come to bed...
The dust mite is a microscopic invisible bug that feeds off the fallen skin that we and our pets shed. Humans shed about 5.6 grams of dead skin or dander each week. Indeed our constantly falling dead skin is what bloodhounds follow when tracking.
Dust within a home is particularly visible when viewed through a sunbeam and 80% of that dust viewed will in fact be skin flakes.
Take advantage of our
MAY SPECIAL DISCOUNTS
and considerably reduce the presence of dust mites
in your home!
The bug flourishes in dwellings and survive particularly well in mattresses, carpets, furniture and the bedding wherein 1/3 of our lives are spent.
A typical mattress may be the home to 100 000 up to 10 million bugs, whereas 10% of the weight of a two year old pillow can be composed of dead mites and their droppings.
Dust mites do not bite or sting and are generally not harmful although they can increase the symptoms of asthma and allergies especially in children and the elderly.
In order to minimise this exposure launder your bed sheets, blankets and pillow cases at least once per week using high water temperatures of at least 54° centigrade.
Let your bedding air and dry before you make it up, mites need moisture.
Regularly clean your mattresses, upholstery and carpets.
THE REAL DON uses a powerful vacuum to remove dander and mites and then cleans with eco friendly
cleaning materials.

The Valley is a place where friends and family meetThe Valley Shopping Village has been home for both Piatto’s and Jonny’s for the past 5-6 years. In an interview with Basil and Jonathan they shared their different experiences and visions with us.
Piatto’sPart of a successful national, community-minded and driven, South African franchise chain, Piatto Restaurant and Grill in The Valley Shopping Village has quadrupled the size of its business in the 5 years they have been there. And it’s no wonder - the value of good service and the strength of word-of-mouth speaks volumes.
Under the personal, friendly “old school” care of owner and franchise holder Basil Tjirkos “who loves the vibe”, Piatto has logically carved out for itself, a significant customer connection and brand franchise within the local Dainfern community, by simply going the extra service mile – Piatto is approximately 1 mile from the Dainfern gate.
Not only do they believe, in a passion for good food, good service and the way life is meant to be lived, they also put their mantra into practise by providing real, personal service to the community.
Apart from the wide Italian, Mediterranean, Sushi and Steakhouse menu available, Piatto is also well equipped to provide, deliver and prepare a comprehensive, fully inclusive “in home” catering service. What’s more, their Dainfern student Home Delivery Service is a further example of Piatto’s long term commitment to serve the Dainfern community at large.
Jonny’sAnthony Bourdain, author, supreme chef-at-large, TV personality and international seafood culinary critic, is quoted by saying “good food is very often, even most often, high quality, freshly prepared.”
Freshly prepared is the mantra at Jonny’s Mozambican Family Restaurant in The Valley Shopping Village, where ever-in-attendance owner-manager Jonathan Meyers’s success formula for his regular, happy customers is high quality, tasty, fresh food.
That formula, together with a great, vibey atmosphere, has served this casual dining family restaurant offering
seafood, Portuguese meats and other delicacies, for over 6 years and is well supported by the local Dainfern community.
“The regulars talk about us and keep coming back”, says Jonathan, a 20 year culinary veteran whose vision and mission for Jonny’s is not only to keep on doing what works, but also to try and do it better. One hot local critic, was brave enough to say, when referring to Jonny’s, “the best peri-peri chicken in the Southern hemisphere” - if that isn’t warm praise enough for this speciality restaurant where one is almost guaranteed to have a festive time.
Coming Soon ...One way traffic flow for easy access and convenience.

Running Club
It’s that time of yearThe sun is rising a little bit later and the days are getting colder. When you set off on your morning run there is a slight nip in the air. It’s just a little more difficult to get out of bed in the morning.It’s late enough in the year that the resolve of the New Year is starting to wear off. Or, you may be one of our courageous members training for Comrades. It’s a time of year when all runners, beginners and seasoned alike might be struggling with motivation.Bruce Fordyce recently spoke to Runner’s World South Africa and advised mixing things up a bit to get out of a slump. Try a new route or some new running partners. Make a small change to your running routine. Also, focus on small goals, like what you are going to run tomorrow and the next day, rather than looking too far ahead.If you are in need of some change, or encouragement with your running, come and join us on Wednesdays at 5:45. The running club meets just below the practice green and all ages and abilities are welcome.
You can contact Brad or Wendy at [email protected] or find us on Facebook.

Mother’s Day – Sunday, 10th May 2015
Food & Beverage
“But there's a story behind everything. How a picture got on a wall. How a scar got on your face. Sometimes the stories are simple, and sometimes they are hard and heartbreaking. But behind all your stories is always your mother's story, because hers is where yours begin.” - Mitch Albom, For One More Day
Mothers are jewels to behold, angels to hug and ladies to aspire to be like and to love for eternity! Our mothers are our nurses, teachers, chauffeurs, psychologists and tender-hearted carers and we don’t always cherish them at the time. We need to show our mothers just how very grateful we are to them each and every day but in May we celebrate mothers on their own special day!
“In a child's eyes, a mother is a goddess. She can be glorious or terrible, benevolent or filled with wrath, but she commands love either way. I am convinced that this is the greatest power in the universe.” - N.K. Jemisin, The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms
On Sunday, 10th May 2015 at the Clubhouse why don’t you show your mom just how much you love and appreciate her by spoiling her to a wonderful meal with family and friends – that’s what your mom wants – time spent with her family but especially her children. We will have an awesome menu, entertainment for the kids and a gift for mom!
“My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her.” - George Washington
“I like it when my mother smiles. And I especially like it when I make her smile.” - Adriana Trigiani, Viola in Reel Life

Dear Parent, are you worried, frustrated, angry, scared, or perhaps satisfied with the behaviour of your child?
We want what is best for our children. We want them to be successful, honest and kind, enjoy life, be disciplined and socialised – morally and emotionally intelligent beings who are equipped to handle real-life challenges. Unfortunately the reality is that children are raised in more complex situations, confronted with ambiguous moral and emotional dilemmas.
Parents become so wrapped up in the day – to – day power and discipline struggle with their children, that they lose sight of their larger goals of shaping their children into moral persons with social insight and skill. Typical complaints we hear from parents are that their children don’t listen to them, procrastinate with their homework, act without thinking, pick on younger children, ignore rules or won’t talk to their parents.
Traditional discipline on its own is often not sufficient to properly shape the child. It may make the child behave well, but surface good behaviour goes only so far. It has to be rooted inside, held in place by a range of skills and character strengths.
Character is not a way of “being”, but about “being able”. It goes beyond personality by building a balanced repertoire of integrated skills, habits, traits and capabilities which
Ideally character building should focus on developing the child’s:
• Self-awareness and the ability to manage his emotions (e.g. anger)
• Confidence and internal motivation to persevere.
• People skills (communication skills, constructively dealing with conflict, asserting himself and teamwork skills.
• Enjoying life : joy, stress management
• Resourcefulness and sensibility in a crisis situation
• Humanity, empathy and respect for diversity.
Your effort and input as a parent supported by the necessary knowledge and guidance, and of course a good sense of humour (especially if you have a teenager in the home), is a winning recipe for successfully launching your child in this world.
develop through exposure and experience. The bigger the repertoire of character skills, the wider the range of life challenges which the child can cope with.

Tennis Update
Dainfern Ladies League
Duane Armstrong • 082 456 5441
Weekly lessons will teach you the technique of each stroke, allow you to practice the strokes and teach you match strategy but it doesn’t really teach you how to play well in a match situation where the returns are unpredictable and points need to be won. It is only when a match is actually played that theory and tactics are called into action.It can be a difficult transition going from hitting the ball back to your coach with their regular and predictable strokes to winning a point against an opponent whose shots you can’t predict. That’s when tennis clinics or organised social matches come into their own.The Wednesday ladies tennis clinic is a combination of coaching, match strategy and match practice. Depending on the size, the format could be a challenging doubles match, forehand, back hand and volley practice or short challenges to see who can be queen of the court. Duane and his assistant coach start off with basic drills, doubles
The essence of tennis is about match play. Mastering technique and using those skills to play and win games is the ultimate goal. That doesn’t necessarily mean playing in tournaments or league matches. There are also social matches and having friendly games with friends.
challenges, teach match strategies and keep everyone running in the sun.
The warm weather, together with New Year fitness resolutions and also word of mouth has seen this ladies clinic grow in numbers over recent months. The morning is fun filled, energetic and a great way to make friends and get some exercise. Each week’s format is different depending on the numbers and the coach’s plan. This week we learnt to return to the ready position on the base line and avoid getting caught in no man’s land as well as attacking to the net and playing a long volley near the service line without letting the ball bounce.
Who knows what next week will hold? Come along and see what new skills you can learn, get in a match or two and remember to bring plenty of water, wear sun block and bring a hat and a winning attitude.

Uses and cultural aspects The plant can be used as a hedge or can be planted as a tree. Its fruits are edible and very delicious. They can also be used to make jam, jelly preserve, vinegar and brandy. It attracts insects because of its fruits. It also makes a good nesting site for some bird species as it has thorns that can help to protect the bird from threats. Its stem can be used as timber for craft work and agricultural implements. There is also evidence of it being used for medicinal purpose although its use is very limited.
The plant easily propagates from seeds during October to February but it can also be propagated from cuttings while the stem is still soft. It grows in a sunny or a semi-shaded environment.

Edible Gardening – Making a Mother’s Day feast from your Garden
Gardening
For Mother’s Day, why not treat your Mum to a new plant for the garden. An evergreen Bay tree (although not indigenous) is water wise being of Mediterranean origin and is a valuable addition to your edible garden. The leaves used dried or fresh add delicious flavour to stews and sauces. Best of all it can be planted in pots or in the ground and left to grow into a tree or neatly pruned as part of a topiary garden. The perfect Mother’s day gift.
- 46 - - 47 -
Gardeningcontinued from page 44
Mother’s Day PrawnsIngredients:20 medium-large prawns,
10 baby courgettes
6 tablespoons sunflower oil
Zest and juice of 2 limes
1 heaped tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
2 fresh red chillies, deseeded and finely chopped
1 small handful mixed fresh coriander and mint
2 tablespoons soy sauce
Method:Get a wok or pan very hot while you finely slice the baby courgettes. Place these to one side. To your hot pan, add the oil, prawns, lime zest and ginger. Stir-fry for 2 minutes, until the prawns are lightly golden.
Remove from the heat, and allow cooling for 30 seconds before adding your courgettes, lime juice, chilli and herbs. Season with soy sauce and stir before serving.
May is the perfect month to plant out broad beans, kale, radish and spinach, all of which will continue growing throughout the winter months. Now is also the time to cut down any remaining tomato and squash plants still standing, digging them back into the garden?
Next year’s plants will thrive if planted in the same position, benefitting from the added nutrients. Dig over your unused beds and add a good amount of compost to start preparing the garden for Spring. Start thinking about which veggies and herbs you will want to plant next season. You can head to your local garden centre to buy the seeds to keep one step ahead of the game.
During May, harvest the remaining chillies, peppers and celery that should still be going strong. You can also harvest herbs such as thyme, chives, coriander and origanum. Certain herbs can be hung up and dried to create your very own dried herb mix or a bouquet garni that can be used to enhance the flavours of casseroles, stocks, soups and sauces. Others will need to be used fresh such as mint and coriander.

Cardinal Woodpecker Dendropicos fuscescens
By André Marx
Bird of the Month
An inhabitant of the natural treed areas in the Estate, the Cardinal Woodpecker is a fairly common resident of Dainfern, when it can be found clambering around on tree trunks pecking and boring for insects and grubs.
sound of a woodpecker on the estate chances are it will be this bird, so that is something to listen for as well.
These birds are quite active and will occasionally move into well treed gardens looking for food and have been known to occupy nesting logs that are erected in gardens. As pioneering cavity nesters they are often the first to excavate a nesting hole, and after doing so will lay their 2-3 eggs in the summer months before raising their young.
Woodpeckers are an essential part of our natural environment and we should ensure that old growth trees remain on the estate so that they can continue to forage successfully on the bark of trees and be seen in our estate.
The sexes differ slightly in plumage with male birds having a red hindcrown but otherwise having a brown forehead, with the female having a black hindcrown, important features in distinguishing this bird from the Golden-tailed Woodpecker, which is also occasionally found on the estate. The black moustachial stripe seen in both sexes and the streaked belly are also key features to look for.
Cardinal Woodpeckers often draw attention to their presence by the distinctive ‘krrek, krrek, krrek’ call which is quite far-carrying and will help the alert observer pinpoint where the bird is. If you hear the typical drumming
