Great spotted woodpecker on the sunflower feeder

I saw a great spotted woodpecker (Dendrocopus major) flying up the valley and landing in the sycamore tree at the bottom of the garden. I was in my study and decided I'd go downstairs to get my camera. By the time I'd returned it had disappeared from view so I just looked out across the back garden. I then realised it had flown to the feeder hanging down from a tree beside the patio.

Unfortunately my lovely olive tree has grown so much that it actually slightly obscured the view from the study window of the sunflower feeder. The limey green colours shrouding the woodpecker are the leaves of the olive.

It soon flew away back to the syscamore tree at the bottom of the garden. I tried to get a good view but it is quite distant. I thought I'd add an 'Extra' of it anyway.
