Video shot with Nokia N8 with 24x25 binoculars attached to it with rubber bands. The binoculars werenot fully focused and thus a little softness in picture. Also full digital zoom was used. I suppose that the bird which I shot is called Great Spotted Woodpecker (dendrocopus major) or käpytikka in finnish. I was walking at the logging area last sunday. Temperature was about -16 degrees and my hands and legs were already freezing. As I heard woodpecker drumming I quickly attached binoculars in front of N8 and began to locate the woodpecker drumming direction. Normally woodpeckers are not too shy, but this individal did not let me nearer than about 30 meters. I would have liked to take more shots of the bird, but my already freezed hands and legs reported me that if I wanted to use them any time at the future I should head home :)
