Lesser spotted woodpecker

For only my third sighting ever, I saw a lesser spotted woodpecker this morning. It flew from the wood, across the field and landed on a small silver birch. By the time I had got across the field it had moved on. It was a wet dreary morning and certainly brought a brighter note to my walk. The field it flew across sees up to five a green woodpeckers every morning, the family group that bred in the wood last spring.
