Thank you Julie, The Woodpecker doesn't seem to scare as easily as the Tits who are off at the slightest movement. I looked out of the window this afternoon and tits were crowded onto the nuts, I counted six just on the peanuts but there may have been more because I couldn't see round the back |

I have just been looking at the Whitethroat and Redpoll on Alan's feeders. Nothing as exotic as that here, just the same Tits, but lovely all the same.![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

The great spotted Woodpecker was back this morning. I was quite pleased with these shots so here he is again. My neighbour, Alan, says he sees a pair flying across the common frequently but I only see the male.![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

It is, Grayling, thanks. Today I suspect a tragedy. We have a Wood Pigeon which sits for ages each day on top of our winter jasmine at the end of the deck. ![]() There is no sign of him today but there was this telltale pile of feathers on the lawn. I fear something has caught him. ![]() ![]() |

That's really sad Eric. It's certainly not looking good for a happy ending. If you don't see him on your Jasmine bush again then I think you can assume the worst

Not looking good at all Eric, looks like the work of a Sparrowhawk although there are other possibilities. |

You are probably right, Dave. I don't know if you remember my photo of a Sparrowhawk in our garden in 2013![]() |
