This one should be a male because I can see a patch of red on it´s head. Seems like he wants several homes to chose from. Maybe the lady is picky :)

This morning I woke up early and decided to go birding before breakfast. There is a place rather close where you can take a short forest walk and down to a small lake. If lucky there might be a bird or two there. And this morning I got myself a new species. This one is not that uncommon but it is mostly hidden and hard to find. Not it was sitting easy to spot in the treetop. With the camera ready I manage to get a few shots. It belongs to the woodpecker family.

I finally got to see this one up close. It is only the second time I´ve seen it. This is a female. She came to a feeder about 10 min from my home.  It is our smallest woodpecker.

A strange looking trunk in the treetop turned out to be  a Green Woodpecker. A bird not often seen where I live. I was lucky to get some shots when it took off. One really wonder how it could get free of all the branches. :)

Jag har hört den här förut, sa de i fågelklubben, men jag har inte sett den förut. Ett nytt X idag.

I have heard this one before, but never seen it. And now I got shots. It is our smallest woodpecker and rarely seen. So, I was lucky. Why is it that peckers seem to jump instead of fly? This one is clearly jumping.  I saw that same behavior once in Costa Rica too. :)
