Great Spotted Woodpecker

Great Spotted Woodpecker Dendrocopos major

Henry found this Great Spotted Woodpecker this morning while getting ready for school.
A rare bird for Fair Isle, a island with almost no trees.
I have found and seen only one other here on Fair Isle, this bird is both a garden & tree tick for me.
