A couple of Great Spotted Woodpeckers (male and female) were in adjacent trees calling and showing well along the roadside hedge and presumably looking for a nest site; the previous visit's Green Woodpecker was, unsurprisingly, absent. A Cetti's was calling just below them.
This pair of Sparrowhawks were calling and displaying around the same few trees and so busy that they sat up very close and buzzed around just above head height. Probably closest and best showing birds in some years. Maybe they are also looking for a nesting tree which will certainly ensure the woodpeckers look elsewhere.
Epistrophe eligans and Syrphus spp plus Chiffchaff and Bee Fly.
