Green Woodies are real bugger to get close to. Any photo is a result - superb garden visitor.
Never had one here so bit jealous really and it's not like we're short of ants!

Is it? I'm sorry I can't see the red on the nape of the neck on my screen so I thought it was a male. I get them feeding on my peanut feeder in my garden too and if I'm really lucky I get to see a Green Woodpecker in the garden digging for ants. I will have to find my best pics and post one up here. Hopefully it will match the quality of all the other posts

Male Woody - it has red on the back of the neck.
Very nice Paul 
Got a female visiting my back garden lately for the peanuts.

Considering its early days I would be dead chuffed with these results. Looks like you made the right choice and wish you luck with it in the future

Hi lads, ended up buying the tamron 90mm. So far I am very pleased with it and managed to get a few good shots that i feel are worthy on here  looking at them on here is not quite the same as full screen, but its good enough

Hi Andy
I am a fan of Tamron lenses which are a tad underrated. My 75-300 half life size is a good one. On the question of who do you buy a macro lens from that’s a difficult one. There are a lot of on-line traders who deal in grey imports and they are usually priced way below the UK price.
There is a risk and I guess it depends if you feel it is one worth taking. That’s about all I can say about this as I am undecided.
As to choice of macro for me a shortlist would contain a Canon 100mm, (the bog standard one) I would look long and hard at the Tamron, as I fancy in the lower price bracket it is a good one. In the upper price bracket it would be the Canon MP65. My choice of macro is swayed because I own macro lenses so ease of use would be a consideration, my main macro lens is a manual.
