Red Bellied Woodpecker at a feeder. Very vocal if the suet is low and a regular visitor I'm pleased to say.

Canon 1D3 sigma 50mm-500mm at 500mm f/8.0 1/500 sec tripod in portable hide.

Critique Advice Comments most welcome.

Thanks for looking.

Smart looking bird Barry ! Maybe bit more space top and bottom would balance it a bit better.
Cheers

A more suitable perch, which should be easy to arrange, and a little more space top and bottom and I think you will have cracked it.

As is this is still a very nice shot, and a solid foundation to work from, as the definition, exposre etc. are all there.
