Absolutely Brilliant Woodpecker

In the U.S., calling something "brilliant" usually means that it's shiny or bright; however in England, "brilliant" is also a commonly used term meaning "fantastic" or "superb" - which is exactly what we called this image of a Great Spotted Woodpecker.

   

Submitted, along with quite a few other, well... brilliant images, to the Wingscapes BirdCam Photo Gallery by Tony from Yeovil, Sommerset, UK, these beautiful black, white, and red birds are common feeder visitors throughout England, Wales, and southern Scotland, as well as across Europe and well into Russia.
