Wrynecks (jynx torquilla) are small woodpeckers that are common breeding birds through out Europe with exception of the British Iles. However every autumn we are treated to the arrival of several of these wonderful birds while on their migration to Africa.

Normally very secretive and extremely well camouflaged these birds are difficult to see let alone photograph. I tracked this individual for several hours while feeding before it rested on a fence allowing me to take this stunning image.
