Hello! I am here mostly to post my own taken in and around and described in 🇬🇧\🇵🇱\🇩🇪 • The avatar features the open-mouthed head of a German Shepherd dog in front of the face of a white man wearing sunglasses and a fur hat - that's me! • The banner depicts two young white-tailed eagles flying side by side in the blue sky, as though they are shaking hands • Respect and protect nature. Be kind.

Green woodpecker ♀ (Picus viridis, 🇩🇪 Grünspecht, 🇵🇱 dzięcioł zielony).

This is a front-on view of a green woodpecker perched on an angled tree trunk. The bird is stretched up in an alert position, turning its head to the side and revealing an eye surrounded by a black mask. The lack of red feathers on the black stripe in the mask indicates that this is a female. The background is a blurred tree trunk running parallel to the one the bird is perched on.

@jaypeach53 no. Hummingbirds are more than twice as small (1.6 - 2 grams).

@immersfer Yes, it's interesting that it is evolutionarily closer to a T-Rex than to a mouse, from which it takes its 🇵🇱 name meaning "mouse king".

@Cyanistes to on. Ona nie ma tych rudych przebarwień z boku. Gratulacje. Ja tylko raz miałem okazję z tak bliska fotografować krogula. Jak mi w karmniku w ogródku upolował wróbla
