The female Great Spotted woodpecker which is a regular in the trees and nut feeders was foraging on the ground under the feeders, Its the first time that I have seen her feed in this manner and she will need to watch out as this is the preferred attack location of the local male Sparrowhawk, The male Woody stayed up in the trees perhaps taking on the role as look-out for the female but he looked safer and more interested in digging under the tree bark for grubs,
A fine pair of Greenfinch were heading the pecking order on the sunflower hearts feeder and when all other rivals were seen off they turned on each other, A Chiffchaff was ever busy picking off insects along the water margins and finally a flighty little Firecrest put in quite a long show in the same area but without coming as close as seen on some occasions for an uncropped image,
