Great spotted woodpecker

We're at my in-laws for boxing day (or the second Christmas day as it's called in Holland). Other family is arriving as I type this so it's going to be a short write-up. Two great spotted woodpeckers can be found frequently in the tree in my in-laws' garden and this is one of them. This picture was taken through a window and cropped quite heavily but it's a first so it's going to be my blip for today!

Hope everyone has had a great Christmas; enjoy Boxing Day!

Edit: the ice on the canal at my in-laws was strong enough to go skating. I've uploaded two images to my Picasaweb account:

* Nienke on the pier.
