Great Spotted Woodpeckers

We had the delightful sight of a Great Spotted parent and youngster on the peanut feeder yesterday. The parent showed the fledgling the ropes, then sat on the cherry tree and watched while the young 'un ate its fill. Here are some photos of the youngster. What a pretty bird.

Have to say I've never seen a woodpecker in our garden... yet. Mum gets them in hers. Great pics!

Thank you! I haven't seen the green woodpecker for some time. The ravens seem to have deserted us, too.
