something iv'e been trying to capture over the last couple of years is a woodpecker not on or near a feeder and today i got my chance



another capture of a jay today which i thought was worth a post



thanks for looking

[pammosley]

Lovely photos Cosmica. You must be thrilled to achieve such a great shot in a natural setting

[Littlesparrow]

Lovely clear pictures Cosmicma no wonder your pleased. There use to be a lot of green woodpeckers near where I lived in Weston Super mare, but they were quite difficult to creep up on so I never did get a photo.

thanks for the replies

i managed to get another photo yesterday of the little feller



the weather was not ideal but i'm still pleased with the capture

[BillyPilgrim]

Excellent shots, well done!

[Bruce Williams]

Yes, three very nice images cosmicma. Colour is excellent in all three and your Jay shot in particular has a very pleasing composition.

Three nice shots there, are they cropped much or are you lucky enough to be that close?

cheers for the replies not had much time to get in front of the pc lately hence the late reply

the first woodpecker ( taken at 300mm ) is quite a heavy crop from 4752 w - 3168 h lanscape cropped to 1540 w - 2310 h portrait
the jay ( taken at 420mm ) was 4752 w - 3168 h landscape cropped to 2112 w - 3168 h portrait so just a landscape to portrait crop to get rid of dead space
the second woodpecker ( taken at 420mm ) is quite heavily cropped too from 4752 w - 3168 h landscape to 1577 w - 2365 h portrait ( all values in pixels )

actual distance would be about 10 meters or so give or take

hope this helps
