Bird in a pond
Greater Spotted Woodpecker
Been busy with survey work but managed an hour at the pool yesterday.
The oak tree leaves bursting is making the light pretty dim now.
D200
800ISO 60th @f7.1

It looks very startled to be disturbed during its ablutions, John! Nice shot, beautifully exposed.

Hi John,

Great shot. I like this kinds of shots. It's something different then the bird on a perch picture.
