Description
Well this is another first for me but out of sequence. I had heard woodpeckers before but had never seen one. And this was another elusive bird, starting out with first sighting in a tree down the street, took about 3 months for him to get this close in my back yard...and I actually got enough photos of him to do a collage at some point, he stayed in that tree nearly 20 minutes just cleaning himself. And I got to see him walk straight up the tree which I had never seen a bird do:-) He has a mate that comes once in awhile but as a couple they stay fairly distant and fly at the slightest movement.
I had research and a page with his song but I accidentally deleted the mail I sent myself...sheesh! So I am left with saying its a woodpecker!
Thanks for looking and for previous comments!

who's there?
Nice shot. it's a real task to find them in the UK, even more harder in London :)
It is a Northern Flicker. Great shot!
great shot!
I love woodpeckers. I guess it all started with Woody :) Cool shot Lynn.They are noisy but cool
This is so clear and sharp- Ive been trying to get a shot of a woodpecker here for ages but a s you say they are so elusive! Excellent! Dave
HI Lynn, it's a Great Spotted Woodpecker. We have them here.
Excellent POV!!! Very nice my friend!!!
same here:many a time I tryed to capture woodpeckers but they managed to vanish before. you were licky, Lynn. or is this one tamed?
exceptional photo! :)
Nice pic, my friend! I've only seen one in real life, but this is much clearer than what i saw, since he was just flying away for me. Great shot and can't wait to see more! :))
Super! that's a great shot!
beautiful bird and when I was working they provided me with work repairing their damage
Excellent capture, I have northern flicker in my trees from time to time, most woodpickers walk up the trees, but the white and red bellied Nuthatchs, are usually found going down head first. Thanks for sharing!!!
cool capture I see you love your camera now lol
Excellent capture!
Mr Woody Woodpecker... Great image Lynn... Hugs, Carin :)
Excellent shot, sorry for the late comment I missed this one...
Great first shot, I have yet to get a good one. I agree about it looking like a Northern Flicker.
