Burnham Beeches
My target bird on this walk was the lesser spotted woodpecker I'd had a glimpse of a couple of days ago.
After much walking and searching and just as I was about to give up, I got onto a male bird high in a mature beech.
As usual I located the woodpecker visually. They seem to feed quietly; in my experience, a steady "tap-tap-tap" from above generally turns out to be a great spotted woodpecker or a nuthatch.
