Great spotted woodpecker (Dendrocopos major).
It is widespread throughout Europe and North Asia.
The upper body is black with a bluish luster.
The forehead is whitish, the crown and nape are bright red.
This picture is not very visible because it was almost all the time in profile…
Otherwise, the eaves of this house had broken it in several places 🙂

I read your title wrong, I thought you were saying it was great that you spotted a woodpecker. Then I read the piece and realized that the name of the bird. The Great Spotted Woodpecker.
Awesome shot!
I have the feeling that this bird, besides feeding itself, also had fun breaking that beam 😀
i am sure, in the end, it does!
There are a few types here that I love seeing in the backyard. I don’t think this is one of those.
This is common in Europe …
Yes, we have several types of woodpeckers here.
I’ve been trying to re-shoot Black Woodpecker for years and still can’t get a good picture…
I think this one is quite impressive, Georgi.
