No green woodpeckers though!<br /><br />Hello Bob, thanks for visiting and for your comments, your recent photos of the Garganey were lovely.<br /><br />Best wishes everybody and have a good weekend, Lindakirstallcreatureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13998154163393757732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144580949373853133.post-46496578290242378032012-05-10T20:57:04.633+01:002012-05-10T20:57:04.633+01:00Lovely pictures you have taken.Lovely pictures you have taken.Bob Bushellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07819577478571292055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144580949373853133.post-81195464970699951732012-05-10T18:43:38.446+01:002012-05-10T18:43:38.446+01:00Linda,

They are a fine looking bird. You've got me thinking, perhaps I should hold a Jay watch at Lawnswood.<br /><br />Hello Cheryl, thanks, churchyards and cemeteries really are great spots for wildlife and I'm lucky enough to have a number of very interesting sites nearby. Our local wildlife trust run a living churchyard project to encourage wildlife friendly management of a couple of churchyards in Leeds with great results.<br /><br />Thanks to all for visiting my blog, best wishes, Lindakirstallcreatureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13998154163393757732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144580949373853133.post-16602056062095818332012-05-09T19:56:45.551+01:002012-05-09T19:56:45.551+01:00Churchyards are wonderful places for wildlife.
