Great Spotted Woodpecker annoyed by the camera shutter.

We have four, maybe five Great Spotted Woodpeckers all vying to get on the fat feeder logs (I have three). Each log has several fat filled holes but they don't do sharing.

This perch is about 6m from my hide - so he's close.

I'd just gone into the hide to check the position of a couple of new perches when the Sparrowhawk swooped in.
The camera doesn't seem to bother the bird who adopts a couple of poses, showing his best side perhaps.
