Draaihals - Eurasian Wryneck - Jynx torquilla

CLICK ON ORIGINAL
The Netherlands, Dwingelderveld

The Wryneck is a special bird in the Netherlands, only a few pairs breed and they are very hidden. Which is why I am very happy with this photo.
The Whryneck is related to the Woodpecker.

Well captured against a beautiful background Ton.

Congratulations on this unexpected discovery and on this successful capture. This rare bird and the wood upon which it is perched bear a striking resemblance to one another—both in their colors and in the grain of the wood. This may be, in part, the reason why they are so rarely spotted; and even when they do reveal themselves, it is easy to pass right by without noticing them. ~VVVVV~

A terrific find for its rarity and for being such a striking species yet which merges so well with its woody perch that it could almost be part of it.

Impressive cryptic coloration, maybe aided by the posture, in this superb portrait! V
