Ooo I've never seen a green woodpecker in the flesh. What a beautiful bird and a great photo - thank you.

and not just birds! Roe deer taken from about 500 meters away.

We have lots of greens down here, and some spotted ones. They never keep still long enough to photograph though, so well done ! I love the sound they make, even when you can't see them it's nice to know they are there.

We have a greater spotted woodpecker who visits our bird feeder just outside our patio door. We get a great close up view. I'll try and find a photo, albeit taken at my usual standard of photography.

Good photo. We have all three and find the Green is shyest and Lesser Spotted boldest. Most nest in a hole well up a tall tree trunk - the youngsters make a hell of a racket calling for food.
