Pete: Saw a bird on a walk in the Worcs / Gloucs border the other day – I estimate a little larger than a pigeon with main body underside similar colour to this bird. Saw it a coupla times but quite a distance away. What would that have likely been do you think? Also heard several cuckoos in various places along the Severn between Upton on Severn & Tewkesbury
It may have been a Green Woodpecker. Not larger than a pigeon though, but similar in colour. They tend to be very shy birds. Great to keep hearing those Cuckoo! 🙂
Beautiful bird in a beautiful setting. Great capture Pete.
