A garden surprise...

 I had just set up a new arrangement for photographing birds on the garden pond when an immature Green Woodpecker alighted on a tree stump which I'd carefully arranged over the water. It posed beautifully for a few moments when suddenly to my surprise a Garden Warbler landed on a second stump inches away. It remained for about 10/15 seconds when I managed to get a couple of shots before it flew off and hasn't been seen since! What a surprise for a garden bird.





Here are few shots of the woodpecker....






Earlier in the week a few of the 'usuals' were about and the now regular 'short billed' Greenshank was present for the third seasonal visit.




Redshanks...




Black Tailed Godwits



...and a Cormorant in the rife



...and finally a Fox in the early morning sunshine.
