I have a couple of the parents at the nest hole ... I'll see if one is worth posting.

Woodpecker parents:

Not in focus but you can see the juvenile looking out after being fed.

Parent moving up the tree and preparing to fly off.
Focus was set up using centre point and then switched to manual - using a monopod. The parents move so fast there was no real alternative.

The other two show just how hard it was to focus on the chick. I chose the monopod to allow me to swivel round if a aparent was there, maybe a tripod and stop down ... I'm going to try this weekend - as the chick may be ready to explore.
