GREAT SPOTTED WOODPECKER (M) (24cm) // DENDROCOPUS MAJOR

EASILY DETECTED BY ITS LOUD ALARM CALL, or by drilling timber with its bill. Could see flashes of red and black, behind

 

the blind side of this tall tree stump, and guessed what I had

found, waited what seemed forever, then it appeared over the top, and two shots later it was gone, but job done, and I was very pleased to have one in focus. These woodpecker's are doing quite well in southern Britain, as they have learnt to frequent peanut feeders in gardens, and its a real joy to me to see them in woods or my garden.
