Saturday fun - red listed visitor (Dryobates minor)

I never usually photograph birds on our feeders but the whole point of this picture is that there's a Lesser spotted woodpecker on our peanut feeder. She's been paying us a visit now and again since the beginning of March. We're hoping a a male comes along. It's been years since we had Lesser spotted woodpeckers in our neighbourhood and I seldom see them anywhere any more.

Ah, so this is her Tinder-posting? I hope a male somewhere nearby is looking ;) We supposedly have a couple of pairs here in Trondheim, but I've only seen one individual, many years ago, at the very top of a tree ... and it flew before I got a shot. Oh well. I'll keep looking.
