Great Sptted Woodpecker, Damselfly Emergence, Newt and Broad-bodied Chaser - Day 73

My last day of protective isolation, 10 weeks and 3 days since I last attended work. A strange time, a frightening time, but also a fantastic chance for me to connect to the natural world around where I live. I certainly feel that I have changed.

An early visit from a Great Spotted Woodpecker. Hopefully it will return.

Dozens of Large Red Damselflies emerged from the pond early in the morning

Newt in the pond! The spots on the neck suggest it is a male Smooth Newt.We have also spotted what we think are Efts.
