Arne RSPB nature reserve

Visited Arne RSPB nature reserve for the first time for a couple of years last Sunday. Although there was very little in the way of seabirds (waders, wildfowl etc) close to the viewing points, managed to spot both a Treecreeper (Certhia familiaris) and a Great Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos major) on the same tree, and this a selection of the shots taken.

The Great Spotted Woodpecker first.
