Great spotted woodpecker by the river this morning. There’s been some drumming in the last few days, but this one was just quietly tapping about looking for grubs and insects. High winds seem to quieten the birds right down – attempts to communicate may be pointless when there’s so much noise in the trees.
While I was waiting for the woodpecker to reappear from the far side of the trunk a pair of ravens came kronking overhead. They were headed towards Southwick.
