Green woodpecker

Green woodpecker (Picus viridis)

I got a bit of luck with this one - it flew in to chase off a Ring-necked parakeet and stayed long enough to get some decent shots. Particularly memorable since I was supposed to be in a strip club at the time.

A nice sharp photo of the Green woodpecker a difficult bird to catch good images of. Last time I was in the UK I just saw fleeting glimpses of them.
