Morning Kate 

You did well to capture the WP, I have had the camera open since 6.30 and not managed to see anything there :-) 

Mary this little bird was very quick, but whilst appears to be wagtail, wondered if it was 'Autumn Wagtail'? notice it's very reddish brow,( almost blends into the nest material) cannot locate identification anywhere.

Ha Ha Kate, I thought it was a Wood Pecker,  I need to demist the glasses.... 

I think I may scoot up the A9 today :-)

I think it is a greated spotted woodpecker too.

Well what do I know !!!!CHOL:) thats why I cannot see it in wagtail identification Doh!!!!

Mary enjoy your scooter trip( dont fall off!!!!!) CHOL:)

Kate, have a look at this page. Difficult to get a size from the pics but I don't think it is the lesser spotted which is much smaller. Perhaps Mary can find out from the wardens today if she sees this ?.

Good morning. Juvie great spotted woodpeckers have red caps so I think that's what this is.

or could be Lesser spotted woodpecker, looked page Mike gave and second video on that page. CHOL:):)

What a nice way to fill in when the nest is empty of usual resident HOL:):)
