Greater spotted woodpecker

Not happy with this shot to be honest the bird on the right is a bit soft, the light was terrible. I will be revisiting again soon.
Shame about the light John, as this would have been a great shot. I really like the image and how the birds are placed
DeeBrilliant just to see them, very exciting to think they are settling here,
thought I heard them in Kilmacurragh last year but have never been
lucky enough to see one.Love the pose of the bird poking its head out of the hole. As said already, pity about the bright sky – next time!

Since when have there been woodpeckers in Ireland?
We’ve always had the odd visitor, but they seem to have arrived in numbers in the last 2 years.
Thanks, I got the composition that i had planned but i just couldn’t get the DOF due to poor light. Ah well, next time :)
I have heard they are on the east coast but not near me sadly :( .They are great pictures though shows their character whereabouts did you see them. Birdwatch ireland would be interested to know where they are
Nice work. It is great to hear that they can now be seen in Ireland. You should send this shot to Irish Birding.
