Walking and wildlife

Yesterday walked with Ron and Susie down to Fornacci where cappucino and pastries were had in the wonderful De Servi pasticceria.  Walking back by a different route, we found that the CAI (Club Alpino di Italia) had put in an impressive rustic staircase where a bad frana had demolished the previous ladder last year.

Back home, today, two natural history excitements.  Coming back from town, Barbara spotted a little hedgehog snuffling around the front steps.  Later she also spotted a green woodpecker (not a spotted one, you see) in the next door olive grove.  It was rooting vigorously in the banking, and looked great through the binoculars, but the photos - not so good!

The steps were posher than they look, and very strongly built ... 
Sea urchin?
My best attempt
Someone else's best attempt ...
