Very pleased with todays visit to my local patch in my village as I have at last seen my first UK Lesser Spotted Woodpecker -a female. Although poor images it has only taken 5 years to get this! I will try for a better photo over the next few days if the fog decides to recede
Update: Returned this morning and was fortunate to see the female again and shortly after she disappeared I was given some stunning views of a male.
Happy Days.

Its always good to see a new bird and especially one that you have waited for. Great photos.
Wonderful photos... it is always a welcome surprise when one is able to capture both male/female in the same day!
Never seen a bird like that before. Lovely plumage.
very pretty plumage!
That's a beautiful woodpecker, Dave! I like the striped pattern!
Beautiful woodpecker, Congrats on the sighting!
Great find Dave; and great shots too.

You are on your game Dave! Birding is the greatest treasure hunt going, and you have struck gold!
Congratulations on the spotting, it's a lovely bird!
