Excellent shot, nothing more certain in life than death, it is just how it gets you that changes, but boy I hope I'm never on the receiving end of the look that hawk is giving.
Cheers, Graham.

Valvebounce said:Hi Alan.
Nice shot.
We have some friends that live near Chessington World of Adventures and sat in their back garden we were overflown by quite a flock of them, talk about a surprise.
Our friends said they thought they were offspring of some generations from some that were deliberately released by animal rights activists. I wonder how they have affected the ecology of the area? I suppose google probably knows!
Cheers, Graham.

For years I never saw them and then magically due to me feeding all the birds these guys appeared. When it's really cold the suet is a lifesaver for them. Like other woodpeckers they tend to become pretty tame. I actually walked to within 6 or 7 feet of one that was feeding two years ago.
For me, it doesn't matter how many times I see them I'm always impressed and this from 2015 was so exciting - daddy and both children caught me completely off guard up in my observatory but luckily I managed to get a small number of decent shots.
