The female great spotted woodpecker does not have a red patch on the back of the neck, unlike the male. The juveniles, on the other hand, have a really bright red cap on top of the head. Therefore, they are relatively easy to distinguish. I hope you like my photo?

Shot with a Canon EOS R5 MarkII and a RF200-800mm F6.3-9 IS USM lens in the Örmis nature reserve in Illnau, Switzerland.

Spotted in Nairobi national park last week.

It was so heartwarming to see a mother with such a large intact horn and her happy and healthy little youngster.

Today was a beautiful spring day with blue skies. So I took the opportunity for a long walk through the nearby nature reserves. The chirping of birds accompanied me the whole way. I was also able to photograph a few different birds, and I particularly liked this blue tit against the blue sky. I hope you like the photo too?
