Is it damaged?
Yeah. Apparently The European spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus) has destroyed the tree.
Gnawed by a black woodpecker (palokärki) ?
Maybe! I think several birds have been in the tree looking for caterpillars.
Disease related?
The beetle has laid larvae in the tree.
That is interesting - what did that to the tree, or is it nature?
Pest insect.
