These are the closest we get to woodpeckers in Australia although they don't bore holes in tree trunks. This species likes open woodland with plenty of leaf litter and rubbish on the floor

Excellent, Rob. A lovely bird with excellent detail. It does seem a bit centered, though I'd hate to lose any of that lovely lichen.

Rob,
What a wonderful shot. The lichen on the branch adds dimension to the image. I agree that the image should be cropped a bit on the right despite losing some of the lichen. There is plenty in the shot with the crop completed.

Nice work as usual Rob. Love the lichen and soft light in this one. I would prefer a bit more to the right as well. If you want to keep centered, wonder how it might look as 4x5 and a bit higher in the frame?
