He's awkwardly placed as these nuts are meant for the tits (whoa Beavis....) and he's a bit big to be there. I looked him up and he's an adult male Great Spotted Woodpecker, a common bird in these parts, but I've never seen one close up before.

Got a dozen shots before he fell off / exited stage left. Cheers, Cotty ========== Very, very nice shot. I realize you didn't give it a lot of preplanning, but nice composition too. Worked out well.
