    I'd say you've done a pretty good job here John. Conditions dont look the easiest to work in with the stark white BG, but you have a great angle on the bird and plenty of detail.

    This is another one that looks pretty good to me. You have a regular woodpecker factory going? Is this at a set-up? Are they coming to suet?

    Thanks Arthur, Yes it is a set up. Just a small log in a christmas tree stand. I put suet in the holes in the log. The downy woodpecker i posted the other day has a good view of a couple the holes that hold the suet.

    Thanks John. Note to all: if a bird has been attracted with food or water of video, please state so in the original post. Many thanks.
