Dock gates closed.
The warm, sunny weather over the last few days has brought out the bumblebees. Let's hope we don't have a cold snap, which could have an effect on insect numbers. Lack of insects can be a big problem for nesting birds feeding themselves and their growing families.

The poor quality photo below is the only one I have so far managed to get of the Greater Spotted Woodpecker which is a regular visitor to the garden feeders. It's taken, somewhat hastily, through double glazing, using a compact camera with automatic flash. If I'd tried opening the patio doors Woody would have scooted off.
