Mr Piwo

The little red stripe on his 'cheek' identifies him as male. It's great to have him and now his mate too, living nearby.

Fantastic shot and close up!!

[Allison Maltese]

You are so lucky to see these on a regular basis so close up. I heard one in the woods today in the forest, but the trees were very tall, and it was unlikely that I could see it, not to mention photograph it.
