Juvenile Great Spotted Woodpecker

We were delighted when the Great Spotted Woodpecker which is frequent visitor to the Suet Ball Feeder in our garden decided to bring along its baby this afternoon. Juvenile woodpeckers have a larger red portion on their head.

We got some good pictures and the baby Woodpecker was seen being fed by the adult and later feeding itself on the peanut feeder. This evening it spent 10 minutes on the same feeder by itself, no adult in sight, so it has really gained its independence.

This Great Spotted Woodpecker video was taken out of our bedroom window on our Suet Ball Feder. Enjoy!
