The Green One Is back ...

[InaGlo]

Nooo not Ven!

Not the best of pics but Im just really pleased to see this garden visitor back.
Shot from about 65ft, with the 70-200mm/1.4 converter on fullframe and cropped quite heavily.
She's actually been down 3 times this morning, so I hope Im going to be seeing a bit more of her and perhaps be able to get some better shots.

That is a really excellent image Glo ... ... a brilliant capture of a very shy 'pecker ...




BUT ... why on earth would anyone think you were referring to me ... ...

Great shot . You're so lucky to get one staying around for a photo. I usually only see them flying away

I agree. I WILL get a decent picture of our occasional visiting Green Woodpecker.
