Greater spotted woodpecker from Queens Park. Heywood. Will be returning in the next few days with tripod to try and elevate the camera to alter the angles and try and get pictures without the branches obscuring the view Steve

Ha Ha. Not sure yet mate. You and Carol going ? Just had a phone call to tell me of a lesser spotted woodpecker and nuthatch nests with chicks about five mins away, I,m on my way to get some pictures. Fingers crossed will have some pictures to post later Steve

Martyn. I,ve got to come on here and get abused. (Smileys not working), just like me really Steve

Dave. its a bloody six hour drive from Manchester Steve

Its going to be one sad day Steve

Nice one Martyn. . My garden's not long enough for a green woodpecker runway. Had a greater spotted woodpecker in my garden last year, not seen or heard him this year. The reason I ended up with picture is that I had gone looking and listening for cuckoo's, sadly to no avail again. when the woodpecker flew in front and across the car. Landed about 30 metres away just managed the one quick shot before he was off. Steve

Dave. Hope one day in the not to distant future Storks will be nesting in England Steve

Hi Dave. look forward to a few pictures as always. Don't see many green woodpeckers in my usual haunts so was well pleased today Steve

I've joined the big boys camp with two Canon L series lenses. 70-200 f 2.8L is usm mk 2 and a 17-40 f4.0L is usm. Attached to a Canon eos 50 d body.. Would like a 500 or 600 ml lens but way out of my price range Steve

Dave. It's amazing the quality of the picture that come out of a cheapish camera. My partner Louise uses her kindle fire hdx and some of the pictures are fabulous. Some of them put my pictures to shame. Steve

Nice Pictures Dave. Welcome to the wildlife thread Steve
