Garden birding at its best!

Considering our bungalow is surrounded by arable 'prairies', Linda and I do enjoy some pretty special bird moments at times. Long-time readers may have glanced at the illustrated list and seen that it includes some amazing species such as Hen Harrier, Woodcock and Little Egret!

Today, my office work was enlivened by a terrific kettle of raptors that peaked at five Buzzards and a Sparrowhawk: actually in the garden was a feeding Great Spotted Woodpecker that stayed for some minutes. I wonder what he thought of the 'Pileated Woodpecker' on our Eucalyptus tree?
