Beautiful…. how do you manage to get them so sharp… me and birds do not mix… By the time I’ve focussed in… they’ve flown away ๐ ๐ ๐

Thank you. There are a lot of factors, including shutter speed, aperture and ISO and a measure of luck ๐.
Have a look at continuous focus on your camera.

Thank you. Until they settle down to feed they are a challenge to photograph.

Wow! Our high today was supposed to be 10, but it only got to 8. This is not the usual for May.

I am in awe of the number of clear woodpecker photographs you manage to get every year. This one certainly looks speculative ๐
