...last week was!!
Nice to have something to blog about now that the weather has settled down after the strong winds & frequent heavy rain.
Anyway, the main highlight was a Great Spotted Woodpecker that came into our back court to feed on the suet balls, yesterday. I managed to grab a record shot thru the kitchen window.
Good woodpecker! He's beautiful! I hope he comes back again.
ReplyDeleteThanks Peggy. He was back again this morning before it got light.
DeleteGreat news Dean - do hope he returns :) Beautiful photos and your record shot is better than any I have taken of GSW! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Caroline. This is the 3rd time the bird has visited to my knowledge and he was back again this morning but it was still darkish.
DeleteIsn't is wonderful when a new bird comes to your feeders? The other day I had an 'almost' Goldfinch on mine - the head was almost right but the colours were 'wishy washy' and no markings at the tail end. I saw it again the next day but not since then. Odd - no?
ReplyDeleteIt sure is Toffeeapple. We had a few Long-tailed Tits & a pair of Bullfinch, yesterday.
DeleteInteresting about your Goldfinch. It may just have been an aberrant individual. Sometimes plumages aren't what they are in the books.
