European green woodpecker
– Last pictures of the series I took during the short snow episode that brought me great luck with the Goshawk female hunting a pheasant. These are not pictures you can hope taking easily; since I won’t have another chance at witnessing such a scarce scene, I enjoyed the moment fully… Enough snow was covering the ground, the sun was out, the decor was set with American oak leaves and the bird showed up searching for ants and pulverising flakes around!
These pictures were shot on the 4th of february.

L’épisode neigeux m’a régalée… avec les photos de l’Autour des palombes, ces images non plus on ne les refait pas tous les jours alors j’en ai profité: il venait de neiger, le soleil était de sortie, le décor planté de feuilles de Chênes rouge et le Pivert a bien voulu faire son apparition et farfouiller dans la neige à la recherche de fourmis. Bien sûr, l’idée était de déclencher au moment où il l’envoyait valser!
Clichés pris le 4 février.

I live in France at the present, but have lived in Africa for 16 years and in the U.S. for 3 years and with Australia in mind for the future. With my husband, I created and managed a Bird Park in South Africa, raising mainly psittacines; the breeding facility housed over 1000 parrots at any given time. My photography is about sharing fauna's beauty with other enthusiasts! Equipment: NIKON lenses: 400 mm Z F4/5, 800 mm Z, 500 mm, 200/500 mm, 800 mm f5/6E
