The Woodpecker was pretty tame and kept on feeding whilst I took lots of photos, most of which looked very similar. It was quite hard, it was usually against the light, at a bad angle and constantly moving. This was the most interesting pose.
But the other shots are very samey.
2 Bean Geese had joined the small flock of Whooper Swans..........

That looks a lot closer to a bean goose than I'm likely to get tomorrow Stu.

ReplyDeleteGreat shots of this stunning woodpecker! Interesting to see brownish fringes on its back. Maybe it's a juvenile or first year bird(?)
ReplyDeleteHi Ayuwat, the fieldguides I have don't really mention if the brown on the wings mean a juvenile or not.............I've seen them in spring with this feature too. I have no idea.
