Great Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos major)

gjbessant posted a photo: I spotted this magnificent bird for only a few seconds - with that vivid red patch on the back of its head. It was running up and down these trees alongside Nuthatches and Treecreepers. Fun Fact- Like most other woodpeckers, around their beak they have shock absorbing tissue to cushion the constant drumming.
