Black Cheeked Woodpecker

From a trip to Ecuardor earlier this year. I had been trying (and failing:frown:) to catch it flying in the gloom hence the high ISO and f4 for this brief moment on the tree trunk.

Canon 1D MkIV, 300 2.8, 1/1600, f4, ISO 1000, Mongoose head on tripod.

Bob :smile:

HiBob
Great looking woody.
Just not quite sharp enough apart from the head area. Good stuff though.

Hi Bob the head looks really sharp and the body a tad soft that said its a very nice image.
