Often photographed but not usually so nicely. The dark background works so well with the birdie.

Its got a good angle and the little birdy is giving us his best side there.

Thanks all. I was quite pleased with what a 40 year old lens can do!
Best wishes, Kris.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Unfortunately with this one I got his foot sharp but not his eye. Shame, almost a good photo... Oh well, I'll keep trying but unlike the robin the woodpecker is a bit skittish.

Today's attempt. I suspect it is the same bird. This time with a S-M-C Takumar 400mm f/5.6 lens and a medium (?13mm) extension tube.

All good images Kris. None pie size but certainly appetizer size.
