Green Woodpecker
This bird comes to the apple tree three times a day. At roughly the same times. Got a stack on apples but took a while to get a percher again.
D200 Sigma 50-500mm

I love that pose - he looks very wary. Not an easy bird, as many of us know.

Very nice John. Unusual to see then off the ground and it makes a massive difference IMO. Your work has paid off here and I'm very envious! Processed superbly too :toast:
