I've just realised it is #WoodpeckerWednesday so I had better let this green woodpecker come out and say hello!
Photographed on Monday in Scotland.

BTW that's a bit of leaf stuck to its nose, not an injury
Sorry, that's @robcrank68.bsky.social's theme for #BirdOfTheDay today.
Bluesky, please give us EDIT! 🙏
A timid fox cub, alarmed by the noise of everything flapping about in extremely strong wind on Sunday evening.

#AccidentalArt - I claim little credit for this, but I think it captures the bird's spirit! It certainly doesn't capture much detail! 🤣
But what is the bird? Obvious to many, but not all will have seen one.
And should I put it on the wall, or should I bin it?

I posted this earlier, but the edit was too dark. This is better.

Male sparrowhawk mantling its food in #DappledLight, Alan's alternate theme for #BirdOfTheDay. Male sparrowhawks' eyes turn from yellow to a deep orange-red as they get older, though this can be as soon as two or three years.
