Looks like a woodpecker to me, related I suspect to our Hairy Woodpecker who he greatly resembles.

I’ve seen two types of woodpecker at our hanging suet, which they decimate. I have never seen A great spotted woodpecker – are they indigenous to Europe?

Pretty much, I believe, and into North Africa.
