We went for a 30 minute walk in Cranes Moor today. It was after 4pm so not much daylight left. A kestrel was perched on the telegraph wire and a woodpecker landed in a pine tree close to us. I hadn't associated woodpeckers with pine trees before. It was a Great Spotted and looked lovely with the sun going down behind it. Then we saw a large white bird flying towards us. At first I thought it was a Barn Owl, but as it got nearer I could see it was a Little Egret. It did look lovely against the darkening sky.
