More specifically, it’s pecking the camera on the phone - look where most of the pecks land. Trypophobia? Or just a likely hole to find insects in?

Look, he’s just really desperate to make a call.
The tongue action going on here is amazing - clearly the camera lens is being seen as a hole occupied by an insect, that he’s trying to get out (and probably feeling pretty frustrated that it’s not working).

Woodpecker pecks frantically at phone, then screeches wildly.
