Lesser Spotted Woodpeckers by Trevor Ridgers: “On Monday 22 April 2024 I was fortunate to be able to capture what is probably, for me, a once in a lifetime shot of a pair of Lesser Spotted Woodpeckers. The photograph was taken at Yarner Wood, East Dartmoor National Nature Reserve at 10.02am on a very overcast day.”

Bullfinch_VictoriaBostock

Bullfinch by Victoria Bostock: “I captured this lovely photograph of a Bullfinch at RSPB Leighton Moss. I'm new to bird watching. It brings me a great sense of stillness and being around nature is a wonderful thing. It's soul food to me.”

CettisWarbler_LissetteMassini

Cetti's Warbler by Lissette Massini: “I thought you might like to see this photo I took this year in February at the Welsh Wildlife Centre in Cilgerran. It's a little bird that is often heard but difficult to see – a Cetti's Warbler.”
