For quite some time, I had been trying to get the lesser spotted woodpecker in a photo. It took a lot of patience and time to finally get him, so close, on the photo. With my telephoto lens 100-400, I was able to follow him at a distance and catch the right moment. So among the winter branches, with a clear blue sky in the background, he stands out well. It gives a fairytale image. If you like birds in their natural habitat, this is a fitting painting.
