Black woodpecker

I don't like to crope image, but here I am making an exception. I wanted to show the woodpecker's tongue. I met the black woodpecker quite often here, but I never managed to capture it. Now he was very gracious and allowed many shots to be taken. Unfortunately, I didn't have a large telephoto lens with me.
