What is that!!! (Dendrocopos major)

He seems rather unsure about what might be amongst the peanuts!

Great Spotted Woodpeckers are regulars at both feeding stations (this is the lower one).

This was a male at the end of May, we'd not seen the female for a while.

He's a bright warrior and your picture is sharp as a tack with brilliant details. Delia, I haven't seen my buntings in a few days I think it got too hot and they are looking for cooler temperatures near the coast.
