Two Woodpeckers, thanks mate....

... would be the normal request at a bar from Susan's brother in law.

These are the other, non-cider type woodpeckers, as seen in the car-park at Chenonceau on one of my many séjours there this month.

The first is a Green Woodpecker rummaging in the grass, which is normal for these birds. If you want to see the complete, unedited wobble cam version exactly as it came out of the camera but in HD, here's the link.

For those curious but not much more amongst
us, this is a heavily edited version of the vid

The second woodpecker is a juvenile Greater Spotted. Once again, the full unedited version is here. Both the unedited videos are about 5 minutes long.

And here is the edited video

These were taken with my new camera on maximum zoom, which explains the wobble. When you are holding a camera in your hand with a 720mm zoom fully extended, even the slightest shake can mean you completely loose your target.
