A little drummer

I had some site visits to do for work this afternoon, one of which was in Edwinstowe, so I had my lunch break at Rufford Country Park with the aim of seeing Lesser Spotted Woodpecker. Parking in the 'woodland' carpark, one was calling from the woodland just to the north, but it took another 5 or 10 minutes for it to show itself; it was a female, which flew up into the top of one of the lime trees towards the western end of the Lime Tree Avenue, drumming gently against a dead limb right at the top. Unfortunately I didn't have time to look for Hawfinches, so they'll have to wait for another visit.
