Loony Woodpeckers
Now getting several visits a day from a group of 2 adult and 2 junior
greater spotted woodpeckers. The juniors are about the same size as the adults, they just look a little fatter, and have almost the same colouring. They all land on a pergola from which a peanut feeder hangs. Then the adults, which I think are a male and a female, take it in turns to headbang for peanuts, fly back up to the top of the pergola and feed one of the youngsters. I've noticed that each adult feeds a single juvenile and there's no clamouring from the one not being fed, they both wait patiently for the respective adult to feed them. They've managed to slightly buckle the feeder but no serious damage done (yet). If the rain stops and the glass clears in the windows I might get a photo but they seem extremely alert to the slightest movement so no chance of opening a window. Cheers, Jake ======================================= Urgling from Swansea Bay. Dave's at that end; I'm at this end. Bill G's in the middle. Come to think of it, where is Bill G these days? |
