Green Woodpecker (Picus viridis) - a photo on Flickriver

            I have been watching this pair of Woodpeckers since they started excavating the nest hole in the oak tree. 

I placed a dome hide near-by and once the female was sitting on eggs I started to photograph them.

It's just across the lane from my house so I can get in place at first light.

They are close to fledgeing now and occasionally I have had the second bird come in while the first bird was still feeding. 

Until now I have never managed to get both birds in the frame. One was always higher up or round the back of the tree. 

Today I got lucky.
