Woodpecker and Jay

[John Robinson]

Its that time of year again. Both these starting to bring their young to the garden so its fisty cuffs most of the time.

The juvenile woody certainly stands its ground !!
Not pin sharp but all happens a bit quick and when you are set up for something else !----
Hide- Well the kitchen, leaning on the draining board, with a home made tripo. I have a new hide set up but the kitchen is more comfy and handy for the kettle.
Evening (dull light.) *** usual the odd blur of a passing blue tit removed.

Lovely image John. Love the facial expressions and detail on both birds. Great POV I would love to capture those 2 birds, especially together.

Well done

They are getting stroppy looking for food which has about run out on the back of the stump. I use pastry mix and suet which is easy to smear in thin layers.
