After bagging the American Buff Bellied Pipit a few weeks ago, a quick stop at Burton Mere Wetlands to try for the usually reliable Green Woodpeckers. I have often seen a pair foraging for ants on the approach fields and sure enough one of the pair was were I would expect to see it.
These images were taken from the car .

Thank you Dave, it may be a bird YOU can usually see but I have not ever even seen a picture of a green woodpecker before, so thank you again.
Pretty bird. We don't see green woodpeckers here.
Great looking woodpecker.
Golly....these are certainly most beautiful in markings. And you took these photos from the car?!! Superior.
just an incredibly beautiful bird!
An unusual woodpecker ...exotic even ..to me! Love that eye! And beautiful color.
Good shots.
Thank you. Love love, Andrew. Bye.
Lovely shots of this very beautiful woodpecker.
I'm back from my bird photo blog admin and want to say again, these are incredible. Those eyes are mesmerizing.

Beautiful bird, one of the few species with an increasing number in my area.

Really nice Dave. It's one bird that I have struggled to get a decent picture of. Must try harder.
Nice! We don't have Green Woodpeckers on this side of the "pond." Not that I know of, anyway.
Such a handsome bird! Wonderful shots!
Beautiful and unusual (for me) birds! Nice series of images.
I have only seen this guy on blogs, but he is so unusual I'd recognize him if I ever saw it in real...the eye is really something. Besides the wonderful coloring.
