Happy Easter

It has been bitterly cold today, we even had a few flurries of snow when we walked the dogs this morning. I haven't seen any foals in the Forest yet but hopefully one will appear soon.
The Greater Spotted Woodpecker was taken at Blashford lakes on Wednesday. As we were walking back to the car we saw one on the feeder but he flew away before we could get a photo. We could hear the drumming and knew one was close and suddenly Karen spotted him high up in an oak tree. Although he was a long way off and I had to crop the photo to ge a good look at him i was pretty pleased with the result.
