Woodpeckers again!

My mate Rob, who had tipped me off about the Woodpeckers, was down for the weekend. So off we went to share a visit. I took a different approach this time. I set the camera up closer than I would sit. Then I moved twenty feet away with a radio remote trigger. This seemed to work. It also allowed the gnats to feed on me. I think I have midge induced anemia!

Seems to be much less noise coming from the hole now, only one calling constantly, we thought we heard a second. This suggests that the others have fledged. Only the female was observed and she was busy calling to the young. A very relaxed mother and did not seem the list bit put off by two blokes in the bushes!
