Green Woodpecker

This cracking Juv flew up from the track as i walked down the pit early this morning, it flew a short distance and landed in full view briefly, i managed four shots two poor ones and these two before it flew off into Swanpool wood.

Grey Heron

Three birds stalking around in the shallows this morning.

Little Egret

One of twelve birds around Jacksons Marsh Gibralter Point this morning, most people seemed to be ignoring them, it was only back in 1987 when i twitched one at frampton Marsh with over 50 other people all eager to see it, how times change with them now breeding in the County.
