I had a great walk round Attenborough nature reserve with my son today. We went round want is known as the Delta, and I was glad we did. Saw three Great Spotted Woodpeckers together, must have studied them for a good 30 minutes, they were showing really well, doing what woodpeckers do. The trunks were too narrrow for them to be making a nest so possibly termites were the reason for them being there.
Also saw a female Smew near to the bridge, no sign of the male, I'm still to see a male Smew but I do keep looking.
A little further along towards the reedbeds, we glimpsed a Bittern flying in, saw it for maybe 10 seconds then it crash landed into the reeds and wasn't spotted again. This was a first for us to see this Bittern so at least I know where it's nest maybe.
All in all a lovely walk.
