Woody Woodpecker
</a>https://www.avonwildlifetrust.org.uk/blog/joe-mcsorley/woody-woodpeckerWith the sunlight stronger and the hours of daylight longer spring is often the best time of the year to spot some of our elusive bird life. Even more so now, as the world has become a little quieter and the birdsong and bird noises are louder and more noticeable.Thu, 30 Apr 2020 12:00:00 +0000Joe McSorleyhttps://www.avonwildlifetrust.org.uk/blog/joe-mcsorley/woody-woodpecker<a hreflang="en" href="/blog/joe-mcsorley/spring-butterflies">

</a>https://www.avonwildlifetrust.org.uk/blog/joe-mcsorley/wisdom-owlsOwls are perhaps some of the most mysterious with their silent flight and nocturnal habits.

Stoats and Weasels – can you get a fleeting glimpse?
</a>https://www.avonwildlifetrust.org.uk/blog/joe-mcsorley/stoats-and-weasels-can-you-get-fleeting-glimpseThere’s always something mysterious about a creature that lurks in the shadows, showing itself in fleeting glimpses and leaving occasional clues. Two of our most elusive small creatures are stoats and weasels - that share our environment but whose paths we rarely cross.Thu, 26 Sep 2019 12:00:00 +0000Joe McSorleyhttps://www.avonwildlifetrust.org.uk/blog/joe-mcsorley/stoats-and-weasels-can-you-get-fleeting-glimpse<a hreflang="en" href="/blog/joe-mcsorley/hornets">
