Feeding on Stanpit Marsh. I like the way the grass and flower colours of the background mirror the bird

Is this a male?

Re: Green Woodpecker

Thanks David and Stephen

Is this a male?

it looks to be a male due to what i think is a red stripe along the throat - according to my book the female has black

Re: Green Woodpecker

Love the photos, that's quite a beak he is sporting! We have one that comes to our garden but is very nervous and rarely stays for any time.

Re: Green Woodpecker

The background matches the bird's plumage perfectly. Great shot.
