Today, I went for three hours to my woodland hide. I have made some changed to one of the prop. I have saw some of the piece of steel. I wanted a different shot. They were a lot birds. I did not have to wait long for both woodpeckers, male and female to show up on my modified post. Suddenly, I heard a commotion and a kestrel appeared from nowhere. The bird landed first on my post and then went on the branch in front of the hide. What a cracking bird . This is the third species of raptor that I have seen at my woodland hide. I suppose that my feeding station is a bit like a supermarket for raptor. Twice the sparrowhawk came down but did not land and I had a buzzard once. The kestrel stayed for 25 minutes!!

I wish that it was like that every time I go to one of my hides…
