It's given a great result! Very nice indeed. I know from having failed to get any decent pictures of woodpeckers that they are very flighty...

Thanks guys, it does come into our garden occasionally but is soooooooo shy and wary. I sat all day in the conservatory and triggered about 500 shots to get 2 or 3 decent ones. First time i realised they love peanuts.
