First time I saw this woodpecker flying I had no idéa about what bird it was. Rather large I guessed it might have been a runaway parrot.  Much later I realised this flying jewel is a green woodpecker. :) 

 I wanted some photos of it in flight, now I have that. It is a flying colorbox. Isn´t it?  :)
