Egypt Woods
A large mixed flock containing a willow warbler and a couple of goldcrests was moving restlessly through the canopy - very difficult to observe. On my way out, I stopped to watch a couple of blackbirds in a rowan tree. Distracted by a stoat running across the path, I nearly missed a lesser spotted woodpecker. It was a couple of metres away in an oak sapling, just above eye-level - a smart male bird.
