Woodpecker in the rain

No matter how hard it rains I don't think I've ever seen a bird looking wet before but this Great Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos major) that visited one of my feeders today looked distinctly damp!

So quizzical! That's such a gorgeous woodpecker. We don't get those ones, so I really appreciate the photos.

The Greater Woodpeckers are very common here and here very frequent visitors to my feeders.
