On 1st September I made mention on this blog of a juvenile Great Spotted Woodpecker that was visiting our garden on a regular basis, but that I'd only ever managed to get an image of its underside - unless it was on the fat ball feeder. A couple of hours later I was in our conservatory, fortunately with camera at my side, when the woodpecker arrived. This time I did manage to get an image which shows more than its underside.

The bad news is that I've not seen this bird since then. As it was visiting several times a day, I'm just hoping that it has moved on to somewhere where it can find 'natural' food a-plenty, and that it hasn't succumbed to one of the local Sparrowhawks.

Thank you John. I'm glad to have got these before she left.
DeleteVery nice indeed Richard. The GSWP is one of my top five birds really, I think that they are so special. Hope he comes back - my little juvenile is sometimes not seen for a few days.
ReplyDeleteThank you Christian. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but it's been five days now.
