SOME WATER FOUL - SHOVELLERS, TEAL, LAPWINGS

A little earlier than the Greater Spotted Woodpecker shots and videos are these few water fould species ...

Remember, camera now faulty, replacement in couple of weeks.

BACK IN ACTION - GREATER SPOTTED WOODPECKER

I finally have a video of a Greater Spotted Woodpecker, Dendrocopus major, hammering!

I have hoped for several years I would get to film this!

A shame then that I get it when my camera is now faulty and six months overdue getting a replacement. A replacement that I hope I will acquire in around two weeks time?!

Fingers crossed.

Some Photos ...

THE SPOT, THE BIKE ..

Here are the videos I put on YouTube ...
