I had another one of those Magic Birding moments today! π
The weather this afternoon was overcast & rather dreary with light rain, but anyway I headed off towards dusk, to my local wood, near Armoy, North Antrim with my team of dogs, but only took a Macro lens, as I didn't really expect to see much.
As expected, I only saw one Chaffinch & heard the usual Raven & a pair of Jays ... then suddenly a Great Spotted Woodpecker flew out in front of me, landing at the top of a single tree.
This was the first time I'd actually seen this species over here, in Northern Ireland & even although my blurry photo isn't very detailed, thankfully it's enough to identify the bird. π
Cheers,
Dick
