Female Gt Spotted Woodpecker. [red under-tail feathers, no red on head area] Feeding on mealworms.

Clear image of the red nape patch on this male great spotted woodpecker, feeding on the ground - or at least examining some spilt seeds and mealworms. It's quite early in the breeding season, so his plumage is in very good condition - the white actually looks clean.

"Woodie" is feeding himself, and collecting things to eat for missus on their nest, but I don't think they have hatched the nestlings, yet. The amount of drumming has greatly reduced, as well. [He's not as bedraggled as he gets later in the season]

Male Great Spotted Woodpecker investigating and probably eating seeds ...

Fast snap & unfortunately blurred image of a Gt Spotted Woodpecker paying a fleeting visit to the window feeder, he was there for a very short time. I think he snaffled a peanut.

Juvenile woodpecker (the older - or at least it looks larger - of this year's crop) having a snack. The fat-ball feeder has an anti-squirrel / anti-big-black-corvids mesh. The grid is sized to allow small birds access, but this clever woodpecker has worked out how to get a beak-full ... There is another, un-protected fat-ball supply at one of the other feeding stations.

OHL telephone pole. And in the garden, Greater Spotted Woodpecker on peanut feeder. Some years ago, the top of this pole periodically featured one of our local Kestrels, an alternative ornament was a young buzzard or more recently an owl has been seen. But only in good weather. Talking of weather - at times, this pole seems to rotate the local weather around it.
