The lesser spotted woodpecker (Dryobates minor)

I compare these little woodpeckers with an Uzi (on ingram) submachine gun. The same miniature and speed! Unlike to bigger woodpeckers, this "shorty" pecks a tree at an incredible speed. Like submachine gun! I have a video of this process, but so far the processing queue has not reached it yet.
As you see in these photos, he examines the bark on the branches. On the trunks of trees he practically does not appear, with the exception of the bottom, if there is rotten bark.
