Notes From Her Outdoors
I love the great outdoors. There's a lot out there to keep me fascinated.
Throughout 2010 I attempted to blog every new thing I saw as it came into season, wandered past me, or was found hiding in a sneaky niche.
Now I have the task of naming all the life I recorded - life was never sweeter.
This year I'm recording the things that catch my eye. and hopefully, will catch yours too.
Wish me luck, I'm going out!
Have you any old beech trees in the vicinity? It breeds in rot-holes in old trees, usually beech. It is quite a rarity (about equivalent to a bittern in rarity terms) so worth looking after its habitat.

Thanks John. Next time I go to Mr McGoos garden I'll take a look around the area for Beech trees. His are mainly Ash and there's a lot of them. I must admit I was excited when I saw this rather shaky critter, more so than when I saw a Bittern - but then, we get notifications of these rare birds, so we kind of expect to see them when we head out. It's the element of surprise this time that made it a special spot.
