Pecking order

A female Great Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos major) picks yet another spruce-cone for its seeds, on a low-light, dull and foggy winters day.
Here shot against a dead gray sky, in far from ideal lighting. Add to that hand held shooting w/ a focal length that equals FF 1000mm
at relative long shutter speeds, and I guess one cannot expect the best technical picture ever... But here goes! Could have been worse too ;)
