Lesser Spotted Woodpecker Dendrocopos minor

            The lesser spotted woodpecker is the smallest and least common of the three woodpeckers that are resident in Britain. The male is distinguished from the female by his bright red crown. It tends to nest and feed higher up and is quieter in its tapping. Usually located by its call, and its drumming. When feeding it creeps along branches and flutters from branch to branch, flying with an undulating flight in the open. RSPB 

I spent an hour in the sunshine without a soul around listening to two males drumming. It's a distant, record and severely cropped shot but a delightful experience.
