Lesser Spotted Woodpecker
I could be wrong....I usually am...but I think this is a Lesser Spotted Woodpecker that has been visiting our garden for quite a while, usually arriving just after dawn it can be heard tapping away at the dead branches looking for food. We were rudely awoken by a smoke alarm malfunction just before 5 this morning. After being jolted awake it was impossible to back to sleep so when we hear the tapping start we looked out and spotted it. I got my camera which was still fitted with the 400mm zoom after a day at Cosford, I managed to get a few shots off deep in the trees so I had to up the ISO hence the graininess.
Or is it a greater spotted woodepecker.....
