Adult Great Spotted Woodpecker feeds her pup

[CopeImages]

I'm very lucky to have a GSW family return for the 2nd year on the trot to use the feeders in my garden.

I was watching one of the two youngsters on the nuts outside my lounge window. I noticed the adult was on the feeder at the bottom of my garden at the same time.

The adult then launched off the feeder and flew up the garden towards me landing on the same feeder as the youngster. It then proceeded to feed the young'un.

Great to see........

I don't usually like seeing them on feeders but as you have 2 of them in the shot I'll forgive you

Well they were back again this evening and this time I managed to catch them on one of the posts that hold up wifey's hammock.

Tis wonderful to see this tenderness so close up.

Enjoy.
