Day 323 Spotted!

Today's offering is yet another triptych of dubious quality I'm afraid, but I was so excited to see this Great Spotted Woodpecker and have my camera available that I couldn't resist.  Of course she had to choose the bird feeder furthest from the house making my photos even less clear but at least there is evidence that these birds visit!
In extras is Violet doing her best with what has been rather a meagre amount of snow here.  It has snowed continuously for some hours but hasn't really settled properly as you can see from the very green bushes behind her.  I don't think that we'll be seeing the snowy scenes  that we had in 2010 and 2012, much to Violet's disappointment.
