This morning, like yesterday, great tits at the balcony bird feeders.
Chaffinch on the balcony floor.
A blackbird (which we hadn’t seen here for a long time).
And a great spotted woodpecker, only for the second time. This time, it ate fat at the house-shaped feeder.
This is a video about a juvenile great spotted woodpecker, eating peanuts at a feeder. It is still a bit clumsy at it; so, its mother comes to help it.

Young woodpeckers of this species have a red “cap”. Adult females lose that completely; adult males still have red at the back of the head.
