I've been very lucky to have a Greater Spotted Woodpecker visiting my garden for the last few weeks
He is very twitchy and flies off if he sees the slightest movement from us.

I've been leaving my D500 & 300mm PF in the kitchen (best vantage point) to try and be prepared
Even then, I'm forced to shoot through a double glazed window.
But the other day, the sun was shining and he was on form:
