Egypt Woods

Greger's cold has returned with a vengeance so there was no getting out west for us today. When I'd done the shopping I went for a walk up the woods and fell in with a compensatory lesser spotted woodpecker (fifth sighting this year.)

It was a male bird, and there's just a hint of his red crown in the photo.

Jubilee River

In the afternoon I was drawn down to the wetlands at Dorney again, where I found the bittern in the channel where I first saw it.


I stood on the grass at the side of the path and snapped the pics over the hawthorn bushes, although it seemed a bit rotten to take advantage of the bird's faith (perhaps slightly misplaced in this case) in its camouflage.
