A common Blue in the cornfield

Not many insects...especially butterflies - around today but I spotted this really shiny bug....he is the size of a ladybird and a dark metallic blue and his wings are red - I have tried but no idea what he is....anyone??

Seemed to be picking out bugs from the bark.

Please see woodpecker set. Yes I know, MORE woodpeckers! Went up this morning before work as the light was a little better and managed to get some better shots; it's forecast for rain again for the next 2 days but will go up again at the weekend - I think they've only been hatched a week or so but will monitor it mud permitting (the field is a swamp at the moment) to hopefully see the little'uns!
