Red-bellied Woodpecker

You seldom see any woodpecker resting, so when I saw this Red-bellied Woodpecker resting on a branch, I just had to shoot a few shots. Just a little rest and preening and then back to work.

I don't get anything as colourful or indeed any 'woodies' in the garden, so this is a treat Richard.
