Great Spotted Woodpecker ā€“ Springwatch

Today we had a great spotted woodpecker been a while since Iā€™ve seen one. Ā After my last operation my wife would set up a video camera watching the feeders so that I could see the birds whilst laid up in bed and she managed to get good footage of one. Ā very impressed!

Donā€™t forget springwatch is back as is unsprung. Ā You can see the live cams through here:Ā BBC SpringwatchĀ very helpful for people laid up in bed!

First Swift of the year

Sorry the updates have been so patchy, I went to London for Chelsea but didnā€™t see much of anything as was too sore I didnā€™t get any photography or writing done.

I donā€™t know if I listed last years first swift, very odd! Ā But today just one very low, great to see!

Other than that itā€™s pretty much all the same with extra starlings for good measure.
