On a walk through the forest to pick mushrooms I found this woodpecker hanging dead from a tree. What has happened?

lol! Jag trodde du skämtade! Jag har nyligen kommit fram till att jag är jägare egentligen och har bara hittat ett politiskt korrekt sätt att bedriva min jakt... Grymt snygga bilder du tar!

The grip doesn't let go in death so it could be natural or otherwise. How high up the tree was it?

Well at least it kept still for a focussed shot. What a sad picture Mark. It doesn't look like a natural death.

That's one of the strangest bird shots I've seen. Did its foot get caught?
