Came down to the side of the pool hide and fed on a dead oak log. Didn't bathe or drink.
D7000 Sigma 100-300.
Usual settings

A different angle, which shows off the red really well. Well exposed, with both blacks and whites having plenty of detail.

packed with detail and nicely exposed John. Not an ideal background but still a nice looking image.

Great picture and an unusual view of the bird's plumage. As Matt says, a difficult background, but I think it works nicely here. :wavey:

Hello John.

Nice detail and a very good view of the Woodpeckers rear plumage.

I like the way you have managed to get a pose that is attractive whilst still showing the red on the back of the head. Not keen on the background though but no doubt you'll get another!

Love the angle - shows off the wing markings very well. Tricky bg, but still a nice image :toast:
