A young female Great Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos major) taken in our garden last week, in late afternoon light, against the red Acer foliage background. Surprisingly the foliage is still hanging on despite the recent windy weather.
Many thanks for your C&Cs on yesterday's upload - much appreciated as always ![]()

Very well xcaptured. Beautiful detail of this girl's feathers.

Absolutely top drawer Sylvia, the detail, colours and clarity in the plumage are sublime and another background to die for
First class bird image - superb pose, brilliant detail and colours, beautiful dof.
