Bird of the day!

[Dinasaw]

Several feathered friends have returned to the feeding sites in our garden after a long absence!! favourite yums seem to be a new try-out : Bill Oddie's High Energy Insect Suet Pellets.
But my bird of the day is a lone Greater Spotted Woodpecker , spotted pecking in the walnut tree! lovely - my first, although the Green ones (or Yaffles) are very familiar here.

Hi

My bird of the day would be this Great Spotted Woodpecker,



This was at Sculthorpe Moor near Fakenham. I finally got a resonable picture instead of a blob in the distance. Seconds later a Sparrowhawk came through and nearly got him!

I happened to look out of my bedroom window today and our pair of Ravens were frolicking in the air. They seemed really happy that the weather had improved and they were able to get out and stretch their wings.

I'm still being amused by the wagtail that sits at the back door, too. I'm going to ask him if he wants to come in for a cuppa if he keeps this up much longer!

Seen the Robin yesterday and tonight in the bakery and around the shopfloor, getting to be a regular sight. Smart little bird he is .

tawny owl calling from a tree outside my mates house last night, listened to it for a while, before it flew across the street, casting a sillhouette in the streetlight, grand!

Fieldfares make fickle friends - they've all scuttled off now after everything I gave them (baked potatoes to!!) .

I do however have a few faithful Bluetits and a the male Black Cap is still enjoying the food we're putting out.

I had a solitary Blue Tit in the garden today and it's the first one i've seen in 3 weeks. Made my day so it did.

A flock of Crossbills and a couple of Green Woodpeckers at Lynford Aboretum and a good view of water rail at Sculthorpe Moor.

Nice start to the day. As I eat my breakfast there were half a dozen Long-tailed Tits on the feeder just outside the patio window.

Saw my first brambling in amongst the chaffinches in the garden yesterday. Have just seen it again - again in amongst the chaffinches.
