There is a bird feeder hung in my back garden about six feet from the
window. It has a constant stream of the common garden birds but just
now a Woodpecker decided to have a go. It ate everything except for
the peanuts. I've never seen a Woodpecker from such a close distance

Nice, what variety was it? The greater spotted that visits here
only seems to go for peanuts even though there are feeds available
from nearby feeders. They are about 20 yards away from a window, a
large niger seed feeder is about 4ft from the window, had about 14
goldfinch on it this afternoon. The window does have some stickers on
it designed so that birds can see it where it is.
