Subject information:	I've never seen this bird on the lawn...I've seen sometimes other like "him" knocking on a tree ...but this one was really close of the house and searching "food" probably in the lawn...I've made my picture through a window and as it have rained a lot before the window was not really "crystal clear"... so the picture is not as sharp as I would have liked,...anyway...

That bird would be (literally) a "green woodpecker" (translated literally from Dutch). You don't see them too often over here, so you were lucky to see one in your garden!

I have had the same bird visiting my lawn at least three times this last winter. I was also quite confused as it is supposed to search for food in trees only. Nice shot.

Great capture. Colors are very 'nuanced' and with natural subtlities here .. the blurred portion in the top is a little bit distracting, I'd crop it; but it is yet a nice shot!
