Male Great Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos major)

By teocali
A male Great Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos major) taken in the garden a couple of days ago. I rather liked his "ready for the off" pose!
Many thanks for your great response to my yesterday's Spring Robin upload, with a special thank you to Fran (Franfoto) for her User Award - all very much appreciated and valued as always Smile

He appeared amongst the trees 10.1m away from where I was sitting Adrian - thought I had put it in the EXIF details but must have forgotten. Have done it now Wink
