Yaffle is the Norfolk dialect term for the Green Woodpecker: it's supposedly descriptive of the bird's curious call. This was exactly what alerted me to the presence of one perched in the sycamore tree: amusingly, it was looking for ants on the roof of our owl box! In one photo (all a bit dull, like today's weather) you can actually see the bird's long pink tongue.
