Lesser Spotted Woodpecker, Osprey, Warblers and more....!

A trip to RSPB Ynys-hir this morning proved to be a very rewarding one. Highlights of the day were an Osprey on the nesting platform, 2 Sedge and 1 Grasshopper Warbler near the break-water hide, 2+ Redstarts and 3 Pied Flycatchers in the oak woodlands and Chiffchaffs, Willow Warblers and Blackcaps singing just about everywhere. But undoubtedly the bird of the day was a Lesser Spotted Woodpecker drumming near the visitors centre.
