Schitterende opname,Ronald,als ik soms een specht zie ,dan kruipt hij achter de boom,nog voor dat ik de camera heb kunnen richten......
Hartelijke groeten......Frans.

Thank you very much, Pam. This species isn't very common here, but I think they may be becoming more so.

I think I've mentioned that we have some borers that are killing many pine trees. So, there is lots of opportunity for woodpeckers.

Lovely capture Ronald, I really do envy you getting these opportunities, probably the best bird video I have ever seen is a slow motion close up of one of these hammering away at the tree, the muscles, eye movement and the bark being chipped away is an absolute wonder in nature.

Excellent capture. I have never been successful at taking a picture of any kind of woodpecker (they always disappear before I ready my camera). So it is good to see your excellent images.

Thank you. Frans has made almost the same comment. Some good luck is needed to photograph woodpeckers.
