great spotted woodpecker

Photo from very early this morning.

Just managed this one shot this evening as the female came in for the last nut.

Taken so many shots of my Woodpeckers I am seeing spots at night. lol.

This morning was very dull, overcast and heavy rain but the Woodpeckers were still back with their young this time five in all. No sorry did not get them all together that really is wishful thinking. However I chose this shot to show as the iso I was using under the conditions was at 4,000. Some...

Out before daylight and in position. Woodpeckers, Jay and Magpies all around me. The Woodpeckers were the first on the scene and moving in a regular manner from perch to perch. Watched the first youngster coming in to land, my heart was beating like a drum. Click.GOTCHA. A good number of shots...

Some great moments out in my hide this morning with the young woodpeckers making a visit.

From the garden on Saturday. I've no idea if it's the regular female that turns up throughout the year, but it's the first I've seen in the garden this year (unless I've forgotten ;) ) Poor light and grubby window from the rain; did we always have "dirty" rain?

and then he sidestepped around the trunk to hide.

Ah, but I could see him! This was the day after my second cataract surgery. I was on my way downtown to turn in my old sunglasses and get the prescription lenses replaced with non-prescription. Also to buy some cheap'o reading glasses to tide me over until my new vision is stabilized and I can...

Taken at my very first feeding station a few years back.
