This is the first time I have had a great spotted woodpecker arrive at my feeder, I usually only see them in the woodlands. So I'm pleased with this one and I hope they visit more in my garden.
I believe this is the female version.

Superb shot Tony! Lucky you getting one of these visiting the feeder. Love the colour of the background too. :)

Lovely shot. Taken rubbish distant shots and seen them quite a lot but never manage to capture a decent image of one.

Great catch Tony. This is a bird I'll only see in pictures. :)

Are those peanuts in the feeder?
