Who would have thought that the wintry weather would be so good for bird watching in the garden. Yesterday there was the fieldfare. This morning a song thrush and at teatime I spied a green woodpecker flying into my neighbour’s garden – and I have their permission to share these images – taken from our attic bedroom and over the fence. It stayed for over 15 min pecking away at the lawn.

I also took a couple of video clips. Follow this link if you want to see an extract. https://imgur.com/gallery/xpkfJ

PS The green woodpecker and the fieldfare showed well in our garden the next day – Saturday 3rd March.
