I decided to go local to Attenborough today. The ‘new spot’ was a couple of Stonechats but I only got photographs of the female. I’ve included a picture of a male from my archive for comparison, I think also taken at ANR.
FEMALE (taken today) MALE (taken 2017)

Being a sunny day I also had better views of the Cattle Egrets, Slavonian Grebe and bothe male and female Goldeneye.
I looked at the latest edition of Bird Watching magazine for the first time yesterday (Friday) and was delighted to see that they had included something I had submitted by email about attracting woodpeckers into our garden. Fame at last!
