Woodpecker return

It’s a pretty wet day here at Ty Canol and little reason to rush out and work in the gardens. So a leisurely breakfast and then, thinking time to go and do some work, I turned round to see the woodpecker on the bird feeder outside the kitchen window. Moving slowly so as not to scare him, I left the kitchen, hurried upstairs to find my camera and returned to catch him just before he flew off.
Set in the Carmarthenshire countryside 4 miles north of the centre of Carmarthen at an altitude of 600 feet. Some exposure to the westerly winds blowing from the Preseli mountains but the tree planting in 1991 manage to create a peaceful and still haven in the lower parts of the garden.
All the photographs in this site have been taken in the garden or from the garden (such as some of the photos of birds)
