Cassiobury Park - 31.3.16

The last day of March found me doing some work on the croquet lawns in the park and during my work I heard both Green and Great Spotted Woodpecker calling nearby but at about 9.30am I suddenly heard a calling woodpecker that despite not hearing one since March 2011 I recognised immediately as a Lesser Spotted Woodpecker. It then started drumming and that only confirmed it for me. It was drumming from the top of a dead tree on the opposite side of the path by the old tennis court area before flying off to another tree opposite the croquet lawns calling again before heading off west into the park.

    You have a very nice blog and your header is stunning.

    Many thanks Linda. Sorry for the late reply. The header I have to admit isn't my photo but I did see the bird in question. It's a Lawrence's Warbler that I saw in Central Park a couple of years ago. It's a hybrid between Blue-Winged and Golden-Winged Warblers.
