Lesser Spotted Woodpecker

Lesser Spots are rare enough sightings to deserve a posting and I was treated to one of these sparrow-sized woodpeckers in a friend's garden in Montignac this week.
Elsewhere there isn't much to report although seeing not one but two kingfishers today at Les Sources de La Trouve perhaps deserves a mention.
The absence of any bramblings this winter is still bemusing and the usual influx of lapwings during a cold snap seems not to have taken place either.
Sadly I have to journey to the UK tomorrow for the funeral of my great friend and birding companion, Irvin Cane. He is already sadly missed.
