Hi everybody,

Went out this morning with the hope of photographing something in falling snow but to no avail. Anyway, here's a GSW from the same location as my last one.

The techs were:
Nikon D2X, 200-400MM 1.7TC, 1/40TH sec at F6.7, iso 800, 055pro, 393

Thanks for looking.
Regards Chris

Can I From Downunder ask what heck is a GSW looks like some kinda bird. I thought 3 letter ackro's were limited to the military to confuse the soldiers.

The markings are so beautiful....nice shot Chris!!!!

Hi Tony, Yes it is suet in the beak.

Charles, a GSW is a Great Spotted Woodpecker, an abbreviation I and some others use.

Thanks to all for the comments.

Regards Chris.
