Dads Great spotted Woodpeckers

 While over in Wales its great to take time on Dads feeders to watch the birds ,you can grab a cup of tea , turn on the TV and watch the world cup while viewing Great spotted Woodpeckers

Marsh Tit and a post in the woods

 I was in Wales on family matters, not birding as such.

I asked my father Paul Copner that if we got an hour or so early morning what were the chances of finding a Marsh Tit? I aint seen one since I was about 12 years of ago

I know of a place just on the Gower within 5 miles he says confidently.

By 8am we had rambled our way into a quiet damp feeling woodland till we came to some empty feeders by a logging shed, We sat , and yes I left the bird feed in the car. Dad put his apple core on a post .

A Coal Tit appeared, then within minutes a Marsh Tit.

Nuthatch, Blue Tits and Great Tit also came to the Apple core on the post
