Are these a rare sight in your parts lately? I thought I read they were. Anyway, nicely caught with complementary background. Like.

Like the colour back ground with the beautiful colourful bird. Nice
There are green colour wood peckers in London wooded areas. I often here them and get an occasional glimpse. Fast and shy!

Lovely pose and, as has been said, complementary background ....... it reminded be instantly of "Scottish Bluebell" matches! Anybody recall them? (you do need to be ancient).

Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass
