Great Spotted Woodpecker Braves Decoy Crow

The owner of this house have set up a decoy crow to scare away birds from their balcony. There are a lot of birds around, which is not really surprising as the house is situated in a great park.

The birds have apparently stopped minding the strange fellow. Even other crows ignore him, and so does this Great Spotted Woodpecker. The woodpecker left when a jogger arrived, and so did I.
