Hi John,

That's a wonderful setting for this gorgeous bird.
A shot i would love to have in my files as these birds are not easy to photograph!
Well done!

Greetings,

Jeroen Stel

Agreed, a very cautious bird, I've yet to come close to getting a shot of one. Nice work John, this is a cracker in a lovely setting

Your green woodpecker shots just keep on getting better, John. I like the alert pose of this bird.

These birds are quite common, but very difficult to photograph. They simply laugh at me whenever they see me, knowing I am not likely to get a shot.

Very nice pose and colours as always John. You should sell tickets to your pools.
