Answer 1

By your description I would hazard a guess at it being a "Green Woodpecker"(a beautiful shades of green, with a Red Head on the Male) hence that is why you can-not see it when looking into the tree's as they blend in well with the leaves.

You have the ideal surrounds for this bird as the tend to frequent parks and fields unlike the Greater spotted Woodpecker they can often be seen foraging on the ground,hunting or Ants and insects.

Hope this is the answer to your question.

Sorry, I don't live in the uk so I can't help you. Wish I could've.

Maybe it's an escaped Laughing Kookoburra?
