We get Green Woodpeckers here on the lawn quite regularly. They are very timid normally however I managed to capture this one just outside the kitchen window. A lucky encounter with this lovely bird.

The secret is to grow lots of Ants in your garden - then they bring the kids in to eat too.
A super photo.
I don't often see green woodpeckers, but last summer at my local reserve, there was one (might be more) that seemed to hang around on a decaying tree trunk.
The general consensus was most likely that years youngster. Whatever, it was good to see.
