Here is the first of a few pictures of the Great Spotted Woodpecker that landed about 10 meters from where I was sat. What a bird, has made my week. This year I set a goal of photographing all 3 of the UK's woodpecker species. I now have 2 with just the rare lesser spotted to find.

I hope you like this pic, I'm not likely to ever get this sort of shot again.
