At 6pm we saw our Fledgling Great Spotted Woodpecker getting fed by the adult male bird.
The youngster is actually pretty independent now and needs little help, so it shows that adult woodpeckers are pretty good parents. The fledgling still follows the adult Woodpecker around and we frequently see him on our feeders. The Suet Balls or Peanut Feeder seem to be favoured by both birds.
