“What are you looking at?” “A Green Woodpecker” I replied. “Where? I can’t see him!” “They’re crafty, they hide on the other side of the tree trunk.” So off he wandered around the tree. “Where? I still can’t see him!” He cried. I smiled as the bird crept into view. Ta very much. Click😀 #birds

When I was a kid the only bird book in the school library was The Observers Book Of Birds… and it was always out on loan. And now whenever I see a copy in a charity shop, I feel compelled to buy it.🙄🤣🤣 #ukbirds #birds #books #wildlife #nature

I love Blue Tits, they never stay still for a second and for every half decent image I have dozens of empty branch photos to prove it.🙄 #ukbirds #birds #naturephotography #wildlife #nature
