This is really a colourful species of Woodpecker that you have captured in a great pose from a fine POV and with good sharpness. The composition on the tree trunk is also superb.

The noise they make as per your notes sounds somewhat familiar to others of this family...that and of course the incessant knocking:-)
A very unusual marked bird. I have no pictures in any of my books, but I am limited to North America....good show there Peter!

Hi Peter

A very colors and beautiful woodpecker! Pretty much the oppositio of what we see here :)
Exellent capture of this cute bird, presented from a side POV, where we see that charming bright ring around its eye and also those vivid yellow patches.
Even if the conditions weren't quite excellent - between the trees and in an area with a lot of shade - you still managed to get a nice shot and present it with detail.

Bravo, TFS and Happy Holidays!

Another beautiful bird with lovely plumage colour.
