The "Whaddayouwant?" Look (Dendrocopos major)

He seems to have learnt that look very quickly and has it down pat already!!

Great Spotted Woodpecker Juvenile in the feeding area.

I'm not sure if we have placed the feeders on the edge of two adjacent territories, as we've seen both male and female adults chasing off young ones, but being OK with others. Some of them appear to come in from the right and the other lot from the left.

But I've never seen two adults of the same sex there at the same time so far.

Great shot and a very interesting description, Delia. We had quite a few adults and juveniles but they seemed to coexist quite well.
