I thought people might be interested in this video (see link below). I noticed signs of the attack on the box and went back through the recording to find the time. The mother bird has 7 chicks (maybe 8) and sat on them throughout the attack. As you can see the woodpecker was almost through when our dog appeared and seemed to scare him. I have since (very quickly) fixed expanded metal to the box which will prevent any large holes although the woodpecker is still trying. All is well with the brood which doesn't seemed to have been disturbed by either the woodpecker of my DIY.
