Hi all
,
There is a tree in my neighbor's garden, and I noticed already since three years that a green woodpecker is checking that hole in the tree.
Occasionally he is also pecking that whole.
Here I filmed the woodpecker last year:
The neighbor's cut the branches of that tree down and now they even cut the second stem of that tree off.
But this year, the green woodpecker came there again, and I even saw him twice. Here he was calling:
Last week or two weeks ago there were even two, and I think they even mated at the tree.
I saw them very close together but it was too quick to be sure because after I opened my window, one of them flew away.
Later that day I saw him pecking at that hole again while the other green woodpecker was observing in another tree.
I wonder if there is something I could do here to motivate the green woodpecker to potentially take this hole as a nesting opportunity.
Also, I am concerned that the tree will be completely cut down.
Happy birding and greeting,
Michael
