Great Spotted Woodpecker Nest

Living very close to Cannock Chase I am able to regularly see Great Spotted Woodpecker, a personal favourite of mine.

Spring is another favourite of mine especially with the Woodpeckers. I enjoy spending time seeing the male and female taking turns in the nest and out of it bringing in food for the young.

Today I was able to see some positive activity at a nest I found a few weeks ago, and that was the sight of a male bringing food to the nest hole and a female leaving – exact signs of young being tendered to inside.

I stayed out of sight for a while and managed to shots of both parents.

The next few weeks I will be visiting regularly to see how they are getting on and will be updating with images as and when.
