Great shot! That's one hell of a hole in the tree. Do you know if the Woodpecker made that?

You mean, you put the camera up on the ladder and remotely fired it? Or you were up on the ladder?

nice shot Mike. I keep a step ladder in the boot of my car, but don't use it often. Pity I can't fit the bigger ladder in, as it sure can make a difference!

Outstanding set up and capture Mike!
I love Pileateds and you've managed to capture one of their "tender" moments. Like others, I need a bigger camera bag - :)
