Local Birds

 Just a quick post on a couple of interesting birds I've encounted in the last week or so. the first was a Long-tailed duck found by a good friend of mine Andy Smith on his patch at Thornton Reservoir.

The second bird was a Great-spotted Woodpecker that came on to the feeders in the garden. We have had this species fly over and perch in adjoining gardens, but the first time we have seen one in the garden.

The woodpecker images were taken through glass because I didn't  want to disturb it,

As always thanks for stopping by
