Black Woodpecker

...... in the garden this morning, he woke me up, what a racket. I think he is a juvenile that had been forced out of his nest. He seemed to have the right idea, hoovering up bugs from a tree stump initially. I have only seen these once before so I was very happy to see him.

In extra is my first ever lightning capture! Last night was such an intense storm, I had to get one eventually. How are you supposed to do it?

Thanks for all the chamois' presents yesterday, most appreciated. Now one more yoga class to teach today and one tomorrow then it is the end of term. Oufff
