07:30 This morning

I have recently moved back to the family home whilst I renovate another place, this means that for the first time in years I have a garden. The picture below is off a juvenile Great Spotted Woodpecker(Dendrocopos major), one of 2 Juvenile's which reguarly visit the peanut feeder. You can tell this one is a juvenile by the red cap on it's head, as the bird becomes an adult this cap moves to the back of the head, females loose the cap altogether.

Other birds seen in or from the garden are:-
Chaffinch,Goldfinch,Greenfinch,House Sparrow,Dunnock,Blue tit,Great tit,Willow Warbler,Robin,Wren,Starling,Magpie,Carrion Crow,Rook,Jackdaw,Wood Pigeon,Collard dove,Pheasant,Sparrowhawk,Swallow,Swift,Blackbird.

Other animals seen in or from the garden incl:-
Rabbit,Roe Deer,Toad,Common Frog,Palmate newt (see picture below) these are distinguished from Smooth newt by the lack of spots under the chin.
