    We've had quite a few of these young madcaps in the garden this year.

    It was nice to get two in the same frame. We had a great time in Dalarna though we didn't see many birds. And when we got home yesterday evening we found that the birds have deserted the garden. I fed and watered them today but very few showed up for the feast.

    We have had at least two families pf Great Spotted Woodpeckers in the garden. They are very noisy birds and seldom remain in one place for long. I'm very glad to have them though. This one was silent at least when I took the picture but was more active than it looks.

    We have at least three pairs of woodpeckers visiting the garden and they fight a lot, though they've quietened down a bit now. I was trying to photograph them flying towards each other but this was the closest I got. It did make me smile though.

    They're not around quite as often as they were when this picture was taken.

    Today pictures are all taken in the garden and the theme is light and shadows. The third one is a juvenile Great Spotted Woodpecker.

    Taken just before our holiday. This youngster was so busy grubbing for food in the moss that I was able to get very close.

    The local Great Spotted Woodpeckers seem to have had a good year. Lots of young birds about.

    There's been a lot of drumming going on for the post few weeks.

    Still lots of Siskins around but they were heavily outnumbered yesterday by a large flock of Common Redpolls

    Thought it was an unusual and interesting perch and background for the woodpecker.

    Woodie waiting impatiently.

    Off to Croatia very early tomorrow morning but I'm off work today so I thought I'd post a couple of pictures on Bird Forum before packing. We've had a male woodpecker feeding 2 juveniles outside the bedroom window for about a week now. I've taken a lot of pictures though the action wasn't all...

    Even with the nip in the air, overcast skies and the ever present falling rain (a return to wintery conditions), there is always something out there if you keep your eyes open. Female coming in to the feeders.

    Still winter weather-wise but spring is in the air. The woodpeckers have been drumming ever-increasingly since January.

    Sunshine and snow at last. Took some pictures from the windows today and we're off on a trip tomorrow. In the meantime 2 more pictures from the spring/early summer.

    Had a great trip to the south of Sweden. Saw lots of great birds and got some good pictures too. I've spent much of the day processing the first of them.
