We visited Blickling Hall National Trust on the 20th; we first had a walk around the gardens where there were loads of butterflies flying around then after a bit of bait, we looked around the house. We came back into the gardens where we could hear Green Woodpecker what I didn’t expect was to see four of them on ground feeding on ants. I know you should never blame your tools but I had only had a 300mm lens on the camera and the light was horrendous with harsh sunlight and dark shadows but I got some images and photoshop has done canny.
I came across some Green Woodpeckers feeding on the
border of a path. They flew into the trees on seeing me.
But came back down.
They were constantly getting chased off by visitors.
However, they came back to the same borders to feed.
The four of them were watching a Grey Squirrel in the
branches above them.
Back to the trees.
