Professional wildlife photographers .... don't you get at me. I am not a photographer myself, I am not blessed with a massive zoom or impressive tripod. But it's not what you've got, it's what you do with it that counts - and I did it from distance with my little snapper poking out the bathroom window! A photo of a Great Spotted Woodpecker ... a rare but welcome visitor to our garden birdfeeder.
@hastingsmothman a baby too. Its a lovely shot
@Beedazzled Seems quite happy to run the gauntlet of the aggressive sparras and the big flappy pigeon. No fear, this kid...!
@hastingsmothman he has a 2 inch stiletto in the middle of his face, no one messes with a woodpecker
@hastingsmothman the only thing ours fear is the sparrowhawk and even then they don't flee they freeze in plain sight
@hastingsmothman Ansel Adams did pretty well with whatever he could get.
"Knowing what I know now, any photographer worth his salt could make some beautiful things with pinhole cameras."

@hastingsmothman That's a great photo of a GSW. Choice of pose too.
