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!

What a beautiful birb! (And that red patch of feathers, and the white spots! The second picture really brings out the colors. :D)

Thank you for sharing!
