From my lockdown window – 11th June 2020

There was again another relatively short species list today although the day definitely provided one of the top highlights since I started this blog in mid-March 2020.

Over the years, I have heard several Green Woodpeckers and seen them on a few occasions. In July 2016, I managed to photograph an adult and a juvenile at the rear of our flats (see below).

Today, I heard a Green Woodpecker call very loudly at 9:00 a.m. Over the next few minutes it continued to call and then I eventually saw it clinging to the trunk of the small tree just outside one of the ground floor flats. Unfortunately, from my position and its location, I was unable to get a photo.

I also heard a male Blackcap singing briefly at 7:45 a.m. and 8:20 a.m.

I recorded the following species today (heard only records in italics):

Blackcap
Blue Tit
Blackbird
Green Woodpecker
Woodpigeon
Collared Dove
Magpie
Carrion Crow
Herring Gull
Lesser Black-backed Gull
