Woody Woodpecker

Got up at 04.30 to watch the little black dot transversing the big yellow blob but for once in their life the BBC Weather was right and I didn't see it so to fill the time a small blog.  

Went out early yesterday morning to see the Greater Spotted Woodpecker again and caught it just right as it was feeding 1 or possibly 2 young as several photos I took seemed to show there was a slight difference in the head markings.   Anyway here is yet another movie of a GSW feeding amongst the many thousands out there on UTube but its my movie which I took great pleasure in making.  

ps.  Remember to watch on UTube HD

I also took a couple of pics again so without boring you to death I am only putting up three:

Then having filled my card up I changed cards and went to Big Waters where I took lots of pics and movies offering to send a couple to a friend (Sorry G) but when I got home and put the card in the reader it refused to work.  The moral of the story is don't leave a card in your bag for over year (even if it is in a protective case) and expect it to work like it says on the tin
