Greater Spotted Woodpecker

A really stunning shot of one of these lovely birds John.
Well captured with great detai.
What a cracker John....
Terrific shot, It seems to be posing for you.
Crystal clear picture of a beautiful bird. Made me think immediately of the old song! (Woody Woodpecker's Song)-for those not old enough to remember!
Beautiful photo of a beautiful bird!Well done John.
Very nice.
Well spotted John.
Well "Spotted" John! A fine shot!
I wish I had birds like that in my garden, all I see now are pigeons and magpies
One word for this "Wow"
Thanks for all your kind comments ,
i put out some fresh peanuts last tuesday ,and the following morning woddy turned up ,havent seen him since .
Another great photograph John.
Yesterdays photo is blown in a couple of places. Couldn't do anything about it.
Didn't know Wood Peckers were about this time of year. Great shot though.
That is a stunning photograph.
It's amazing how similar the heads are on the wood pecker and Kookaburra.
When I was working earth moving machinery in OZ, these gorgeous birds would be waiting and swoop down on anything that got uncovered.
