Sharing this on here because I know there are other birdwatchers around, just had a great spotted woodpecker on my bird feeders in my back garden! Had my binoculars next to me so got a good look
They haven't visited my garden because they aren't garden birds, but I hear lapwings and curlews this time of year
Love both of them! We have a nature reserve with lakes not too far from our house so I do see and hear them flying over sometimes.
Between those, the oystercatchers and the curlews they can make quite the noise.
A few weeks ago the lapwings were out in force, more than I've ever heard before. It's a very strange call but lovely all the same. I'm very lucky to live where I do
