After a quick walk round Egypt Woods I was returning to the car when a lesser spotted woodpecker flew from behind me and swooped into a tree quite a distance from the path, not far from where I saw a female last weekend.
Through loads of twigs and in bad light I got a poor shot which at least proves the bird was a female.
A walk by the Jubilee River this afternoon produced a small flock (15-20) of golden plovers, on the field bounded by Amerden Lane.
