A nice winter nature shot posted here! We have woodpeckers eating at our feeders in our part of the UK. Your shot is well composed, it's sharp and has good exposure. Well done and good luck!

They are shy birds aren't they. Very nice bird capture. Sharp feather through bill detail. Extra nice profile. Even has a small eye catch light. Excellent tech management. B-)) Bob

A low key capture with a subtle illumination but still with good eye clarity in the thumbnail image.
Cute and candid pose as if he was surprised by being caught in the act!
Good luck!

I have never been able to get satisfactory results shooting through a double glazed window. A very nice bird in a fine pose. Not too crazy about the idea of shooting birds on feeders though.

yes I know,,I read your portfolio on all the things you do to take photos, but a feeder is still a way to show how these birds can come and eat,, I dont think I have enough time to spend of luring them any other way Maybe when I retire totally from work lol
