Couple of Garden Photo's
This Great Spotted Woodpecker and his family are regular visitors to my fathers garden on Widdop Rd, the family consists of 2 juv's with also the adult female visiting. Hope to get shots of them all in time.
No Brian I use a Nikon D70 with a Nikon 80-400mm VR lens F4/5.6 About a week ago I set a garden chair up within 5ft of the feeders and covered it with my bag hide(like a camoflaged poncho) today is the first time I've sat in the chair since I set it up. So very pleased with results so far. Even had a House sparrow use me as a perch.
Copies are available at £6.00 each from the GO local store at Woodlesford, Pellon price . Hopefully they will also be available at the Fox and Goose Hebden Bridge ,

P.s. The camera is hand held.
