I like those Green Woodpecker shots Eric, they are few and far between up here.

This year there seems to have been young ones that fledged here and they (I am assuming it's them) have visited 2 or 3 times this Summer. With the caravan in the back garden I was able to get a closer concealed position. This time I was in the house. I stalked it a bit but made one wrong move ...and it was gone. 😞

I always wondered why the local jackdaws left when I got out the car! It must be my rattling bones. ![]()
