Great Spotted Woodpecker

Hi, thanks for all the votes and comments this week, here's a Great Spotted Woodpecker I shot him yesterday morning in Burnley.

I am new to wildlife photography but in the last 5 months I have received a lot of help and advice on improving my technique; and even though I still have a long way to go, I am pleased with the results.

Please feel free to comment, no offence taken! I believe it’s a good way to learn from people with years of experience.

Thanks for looking, Martin.
