Yorkshire Wolds

Great Spotted Woodpecker (Male) - These woodland birds are simply a joy to photograph and study. They can also be quite ruthless as they are not against eating other birds as well.

Baby birds have many predators, but not many people would suspect one of those predators to be a Woodpecker.

The Beavers have been busy on this loch.

From the Cateran trail.

A female Redstart in woodland beneath the Betws mountain, Amman valley.

I saw the first Redstart (male) on April 21st so it was lovely to visit my favourite Redstart spot yesterday and see one male plus at least two, possibly three females.

The male seemed disinterested in the females but the females were chasing each other about relentlessly! Is there a reason for this anyone?

This wee bird was in Tentsmuir forest in fife yesterday.
