Green Woodpecker

Green Woodpecker

I was sitting at the computer looking out the open window when a green woodpecker, or a Gröngöling, landed on a branch on the birch tree. So I just stretched my arm out to grab the camera,stood up and managed to shoot one photo before it noticed me and flew away to the next tree. I did go out later for a better look at the bird but it was long gone by then.

Nice shot. I had never seen a green woodpecker before today. We have lots of woodpeckers here but mostly in red or spots of red and black and white.

Nice picture.

I'm sitting at the window now as I'm typing this, but no bird around at the moment.
