Lesser spotted in Coed y Garth

Out mushrooming in Coed y Garth this evening when I heard a faint tapping from the top of the tree I was standing next to.

I looked up and casual as you like was a Lesser Spotted Woodpecker working its way up the branch only ten or so feet away from me!

A first for Flintshire!

Bugger all else about though.

Until later.

    Off my patch Nicklin!!!

    Good to see you picked up a Lapland Bunting, was down at the old colliery site this morning but it was pretty quiet apart from lots of Mistle Thrushes?

    Great to see Willow Tits in Garth Wood - not picked one up in Flintshire yet this year. I will have to have a look soon...

    Cheers,
    Paul.
