There was a pair of Great Spotted Woodpeckers in the local park yesterday…
These first 2 shots are the male, the bottom one is the female.


We planned to go back to the Brown Shrike location at sunrise the next day to get better lighting…
But it was foggy and we were tired after the first night in the car so we slept in at the hotel. By the time we got to the spot the harsh bright sunshine had returned.
There was pair of Wryneck at least.
Shame about the lighting. Very soft images.
We had a night on a campsite last night…
After being serenaded by Jungle Nightjars all night (including a brief glimpse in the twilight) we were up at sunrise and there were lots of birds: a flyover White-tailed Eagle and Osprey, Japanese Green Pigeon, Brown Dipper, Grey Wagtail, several species of thrush…
…and several species of woodpecker…
Breeding season in full swing as you can see.
