Well over a dozen Gt Spotted Woodpeckers all over incl. Areas 30, 29, 31, 1, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26.
Loved the pics of the redstart.
Tony, thanks for the godsownclay link.
The garden birds are starting to use the bird bath again. Also some 'punk' blackbirds - moulting feathers.
The juvenile G Sp Woodpeckers that I see still have a red cap. The bird you saw may have been an adult male in moult.
You say that the birds in your garden have started to use your bird bath again. Do you mean to say that they have been dirty little blighters. I always think that birds visiting the bird bath in my garden do not always make use of the feeders.
