I have been waiting for ages to get a decent shot of a greater Spotted woodpecker. We were given a tip off that the campsite at Denny Wood was a good place to look. Today was our fourth visit and finally we got him, In fact there were a pair. The really annoying thing was that on our last visit we were busy watching some birds a little way in the woods when another birdwatcher asked us if we had got the Woodpecker that was sitting on the gate where a few minutes before we had been taking pictures of tits and nuthatches. Now I want one of him just a little closer!
