he is gorgeous!!! what a beautiful bird... we have been hearing a loud shriek during the day and thought it might be a hawk... we finally saw the bird and it is a tiny wood pecker of some kind, with a big voice.

seems to be a female. :) She has some company there even if they are motionless :)

Nick Morgan said...

Fantastic. That would be a real rarity here, but there are a few of them down in the Scottish Borders.

Mike Attwood said...

Nice shots Sonjia, I have a male he flies straight over my garden and ignores my feeders. Take care, Mike.

A Spotted Woodpecker ... that's a first for me. I have never seen nor even heard of them before. Very nice pictures and I am wondering now where your bird feeder is that has such an awesome bird coming to it :)
