Great Spotted Woodpecker

Great Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos major)

Not an easy shot to get. Virtually full frame. I had the converter on when it first showed up and couldn't fit the whole bird in the frame. I couldn't believe it would hang around whilst I removed the converter but it did. It was very dark too. ISO 400, f7.1 at 1/25 sec. Resting the lens on the hide window many of the shots I took suffered from motion blur as the woodpecker dug away at the hole.
