  1. The "Whaddayouwant?" Look

    The "Whaddayouwant?" Look

    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...

    Or it would be if only he'd turn round!! This young Great Spotted Woodpecker had found the log feeder and learnt how to balance on it. Saturday fun

    What is that!!!

    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. Saturday Fun

    This woodpecker has brought it´s fledgling to the bird table and is feeding it with fatball. The woodpeckers adore it!

    Is it going to rain?

    A day rather like this one here. Heavily overcast! Seems this Great Spotted Woodpecker isn't too sure of the weather. Saturday Fun
  10. Fattening up

    Fattening up

    This Great Spotted Woodpecker took a wee breather before going at the fat balls again. It was almost as if he thought he'd never see them again. I had to take my chance of getting a picture at that point LOL Saturday Fun

    Great Spotted

    I think a pair of them live in the woods just across the bus stop path from the garden. Those woods used to be a good spot for finding russula mushrooms in Fall, but now there's too much foot traffic through there due to a frisbee golf course that winds through the woods and across the lawns and...

    That was the only place he could be to stop me getting a good picture!!! Back at Craighall on my first visit of the year, a Great Spotted Woodpecker parked himself at the most inconvenient spot you could imagine. Saturday Fun

    Knock knock

    It's obviously still winter here, buuuuut ... On Valentine's Day, of all days, I heard my first Great Tit of the season doing his bicycle pump song, and then two days later I heard Greenfinches starting to sing and buzz (as opposed to just the simple pweets they do most of the winter) and a GSW...
