A European green woodpecker (Picus viridis) photographed through the branches

I know the photo isn't very good. But it's still something special for me. I saw this bird flying away a lot recently and was always too late to take a photo. But today I managed to take this photo through the branches. I would have liked to have positioned myself differently. But I couldn't sneak up carefully enough and he flew away before I could get a better photo...

Shot with a Canon EOS R5 MarkII and a RF200-800mm F6.3-9 IS USM lens in the Örmis nature reserve near Illnau, Switzerland.
