i just looked out the window - to see a Great Spotted Woodpecker! I hardly ever see them anymore after they stopped coming to the bird table! It was fantastic! It was hopping around, lightly pecking certain parts of the oak tree - to check where it's best to drum?
Then, it started drumming! Very loud and fast! It then continued hopping between the branches, then returned to drum in the same place!
Once it starts drumming, is that where it will nest? Or does it do it in lots of places? I was wondering because it flew away to fields when disturbed. It would be great to have them nesting!
Whatever happens, it provided fantastic, uninterupted views of it! Amazing bird!
