Great Spotted Woodpecker ( F ) - Dendrocopos major (Dendrocopos major)

Taken January 2016
The red on this little lady was gorgeous when she moved into the light but unfortunately when she did I couldn't get a clear shot of her.
They are very striking birds and always a pleasure to see but like many birds are not very tolerant of their human admirers being around.

It's always a thrill to spot one of these tripping around the trees, isn't it John.

You've a super picture of this lass - very well done laddie.

Many thanks everyone.
I get one or two in my garden on the feeders which is nice but they tend to fly in from wherever strait onto the feeder so no good natural perch for a shot sadly.
