Moore Nature Reserve

I went along to Moore Nature Reserve to see if I could capture a reported Lesser Spotted Woodpecker, although it was about it decided that it didn't want its picture taking. Well that's fair enough I suppose, but I wasn't going to go home empty handed. As the evening approached the visitors and dog walkers went home for their teas, and I was left quite alone. This Great Spotted Woodpecker drummed, its muffled echo surrounding me in the still silence, the bark of the trees glowed with the setting sun, I was glad to be alone and at one with nature.
