      A striking feature if you can get the light on them.

      Our Green Woodpecker is equally as colourful, not so much the Lesser-spotted though.

    Stunning series of shots Roy, especially the lovely but often overlooked Pochards. Indeed our wonderful winter wildfowl really do prove that winter is far from dull if you know where to look.
