Great spotted woodpecker

[Dreamer]

hi all, This is the shot that i've been after for a while. yesterday i got it, nice light and no shadows. she was even on the right part of the stump, which gave me a smooth background. thanks for looking

Can't find anything at all wrong with that photo. As you say, good light, sharp focus, natural colours and even the background looks good.

But what camera/lens? Information about equipment can be useful to beginners who are wondering what to purchase.
