Off work for a couple of days as I'm working this weekend, lunch under the grill, and I look out of the window to find this chap on the feeder. He's awkwardly placed as these nuts are meant for the tits (whoa Beavis....) and he's a bit big to be there. I looked him up and he's an adult male Great Spotted Woodpecker, a common bird in these parts, but I've never seen one close up before.

Got a dozen shots before he fell off / exited stage left. Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________
