Hello Feathered Friends Lovers,

Welcome to #SMaP Show Me A Photo Contest Round 149

The idea about this prompt came to my mind after @pardinus's post and comments about the twigs that happened to be so often between the bird and the lens. It really happens all the time and I have deleted many, really many photos, because of the bloody twigs. You see the bird, just the right place, the light is what you expect to have with the sun behind your back and... twigs. The photo is not what you wish to be, but for some reason you keep it. Well, now is the time to show it to the world. 🙂

The Syrian woodpecker is posing, but no way to avoid the twig in front.

The Green woodpecker in this photo was high and again, I couldn't avoid the twigs.
Sometimes I could move and change the angle and got lucky, or the bird would be gone leaving me empty handed.

Now you got the idea.
