Great Spotted Woodpecker & Ring-Necked Parakeet (Dendrocopos major, Psittacula krameri)

While watching this woodpecker on the feeder, this parakeet would, every now and then, jump of its branch and try and force the woodpecker off, after a bit of luck I managed this shot during the attack! (It still didn't move the woodpecker though!)
