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!

Slightly damp, and possibly a bit put out, in that first one! What a charming little bird.
