Small Copper (Lycaena phlaeas).

The bullfinch is such a shy bird and quite scarce where I live it is a great pleasure to have seen one today.

Male Lesser Spotted Woodpecker this afternoon, Bossenden Wood, Kent.
1st pic it's perched on silver birch and I could hear it drumming for 5 mins before I laid eyes on it. It was surprisingly well camouflaged against the bark and the shadows.
