Great Spotted Woodpeckers

Not the best picture, but taken last evening in failing light out of the bedroom window through the glass. Though it reasonable considering the situation. Plus its a test shot to try and sort out my Fickr problem, mentioned in another thread -- General Photo Discussions

Re: Great Spotted Woodpeckers

they are a bit dark but you could sort that in post production, good to get a male and female together

Re: Great Spotted Woodpeckers

Thanks Stan, Yes I sort of put them up because of the problem I'm having with Flickr - test shots.
Its an adult female and a juvenile --Adults males have the red nap on the back of the head, no red nap on female, juveniles have a red crown.
They nested in the garden, but in an impossible place to photograph.

That's good, I have one visiting the garden but he (a male) always flies straight in lands on the feeder gets a beak full of food and then off.

Would love to have opportunity to photograph them.

Re: Great Spotted Woodpeckers

Thanks everyone for your kind comments, Seems this is my last picture posting cant now up-load anything to Flickr & don't seem to be able to get any help from them where ever they are.
