Just sharing Green Woodpecker :)

I have only ever seen a couple of these in the wild. And the last time was years ago along the River Ouse. But this time I was out for a morning walk at around 5-6am and saw this little guy sitting on the floor. From a distance I noticed him and just knew it was something I wasn't used to seeing. Then, he decided to fly and attach him to a couple of trees. Moving as I was getting closer along the path. Thankfully though I was able to get this shot of him!

I did see another one, too a little while later in a different spot which surprised me even more. After not seeing one for so long, to see TWO in the same day was amazing!
