Its A Green Un (Picus viridis)

As it was quite nice yesterday, I had a walk through the small woods behind the allotments. It was great sitting on a bench listening to a couple of Song Thrushes singing back and forth to each other. Then I spotted this guy foraging amongst some leaves in the distance. I have seen this bird a few times last year, but never got near enough for a shot. This is a real big crop, but its my first Green Woody shot.
