Wildlife Homestead Pt 3 and Photographing Greater Spotted Woodpeckers

Its been a busy couple of weeks down here in rural Wales. From creating paths through the woods, processing firewood, mowing meadows to felling dead Ash trees and all round property maintenance. I've also been expanding the meadow feeding station and decided to have a go at photographing the resident Greater Spotted Woodpeckers. I found a suitable felled Silver Birch and set about creating a nice location for it to enable me to get some decent shots. Join me to see if we managed to get any "keepers"!!
