I am a bird lover and I photography is my serious hobby. I heard loud sounds of wood digging on a Saturday morning around my friends home and I knew it was a woodpecker for sure.When I looked out , I saw this beautiful , agile and shy bird. I can say that because I tried to follow it with my camera without any luck. So I decided to crate a hideout in my friends patio where this guy was a regular visitor. I was lucky to capture few good images.Editing
I don't remember if I did any post processing for this.In my camera bag

Understanding your subject and it's behaviors and patience are the most important things especially for capturing beautiful images of birds and animals in the wild, rest all are just technicalities and skills.
