Woody makes a meal of it...

The male Great Spotted Woodpecker has been really providing for his family who are no doubt holed up in a nearby tree. He has his meal first then fills up his beak to bursting point to take food back to the youngsters. He really uses his tail well on the suet ball for support and balance and flits about from the peanuts to the suet balls and then onto any oddments left on the ground. We hope that he will one day bring the entire family to the restaurant at Lower Birchwood. Look out for the surprised male pheasant and the baby siskin in the video.
