Does anything eat ants - apart from an ant-eater?

Green woodpeckers seem to love them. I saw one happily filling itself
up for about 10 minutes at an ants nest. What you need is a flock of
them to discover your garden. ;-)

Not just green woodpeckers - *all* woodpeckers - they are their staple
diet.
We have all three native species here in Buckinghamshire and they gorge
themselves.

I wish! We have them in the vicinity but I've never seen them in the
garden... We have the 'normal' garden birds but they never seem to eat our
pests - too well fed!
