Great Spotted Woodpeckers, June 2017

We have been fortunate to see a whole family of great spotted woodpeckeers on our bird feeders over recent weeks. We have seen both parents, collecting peanuts and taking them back to what we guess is a nest high in one of the ash trees in the river valley, and, more recently two fledglings, both male, feeding themselves. The fledglings took a while to get the hang of the peanut feeders.
