Woodpecker Shot at a Slow Shutter Speed

This image, shot by a photographer unknown to me, allegedly shows a wryneck (Jynx torquilla) pecking away at a tree branch. The head looks like a spindle, doesn't it?

Having just watched a few slow motion videos of woodpeckers, it can be seen that if the bird was pecking, its body would be moving as well as its head. This might be one looking left and right for where it will peck next.

Abusive comment hidden. (Show it anyway.)
