| How is it that when I see a Green Woodpecker it is either around the other side of a tree or obscured by twigs. |

Rainbow & Records
Some shots taken at work today. The rainbow shots were taken using my mobile phone the others are record shots of one of three Roe Deer and a Green Woodpecker. I’m hoping for better shots of the GW sometime this year.

Far Pastures (again)
Haven’t been out for a couple of days so thought I would try Far Pastures this morning to see if there was much about. As you can see by the shot of the rainbow over the pond there wasn’t (not quite true there were about six Mallard and two Teal oh and one Moorhen). The Kingfisher was right at the far end of the pond while I was there and the record shot is just to prove he was actually there (I had to take a picture of something).
The carpark area had all the usual birds. The Siberian Chiffchaff showed well as did the Goldcrest.

“Local Patch”
Once again spent yesterday on my “local patch” of Far Pastures, Shibdon Ponds and Clara Vale. Not a lot about at any of the sites. In fact the only picture I took at Far Pastures, before the Grey Wagtail dropped in, was this rainbow and that was on my mobile phone. The Jack Snipe did not show while I was there but a couple of Water Rail put on a good display (no pictures though).
Shibdon Ponds held loads of Black-headed Gulls, Lapwings and Redshank. The Ruff was still there and Snipe showed well. And again a rainbow taken with my mobile phone.
At Clara Vale the Kingfisher was on the pond at the right of the hide when I arrived but was hidden by reeds and grass so only poor shots were had. It then flew to the main pond where it stayed but it was nearly always in what has become know as its killing tree as it fly’s to an Oak tree to kill and eat its catch. A Sparrowhawk flew through putting up most of the small birds that the strong wind was not keeping down.
Still not a bad day out.
