Fantastic, Danny. Brilliant array of feeders. What do you have in them. I presumed they only ate bugs, not seeds. Obviously mistaken.

I only have sunflower hearts, which I order 2X 20kg at a time on eBay. Lasts for ages and far cheaper than little packets. Next door does mixed seeds and suet.
The woodpeckers do check the hollow tops of canes and I have seen plenty of their holes in dead branches, which I have left up. They visit nearly every day.
The feeders have accumulated over time. The Roamwild anti-squirrel one also works on parakeets. The mesh one suffers from the damp and I might reload it with suet balls. I got it as nuthatches can feed head down on it, which they can't do on ordinary feeders.
The stand is made from 24mm and 15mm copper pipe with cup hooks. I originally used a soldered joint but it wasn't man enough.

I can't remember if I posted this before from 2022.
I once had to let out three feral pigeons in one go!
I have had to leave one door off at night in summer as kept catching hedgehogs!

Gosh! I would never have believed a GS woodpecker would enter a cage like that!
Great that you have hedgies DannyK

This a rather longer video I shot in our forest last year, right at the end the Great Spotted Woodpecker is in evidence, there is a bit of commentary with it.

A full 15 minute video of the mornings bird watching in ut local forest, it was freezing, but quite productive.

Only watched the opening parts, burnie. Sorry about that. Lovely to see, nevertheless. Must feel really special, being there 'live', so to speak.

So cute burnie

Beautiful!
We don’t see many that orange here…our local red squirrels are much darker- especially their tails.

Thanks for sharing Burnie - always uplifting to see red squirrels!

I should say I was the driver for this shot, my wife took the image from the car, then I edited it afterwards, it was a bit dark so I had to lighten it.

That’s great you have such a lovely shared hobby Burnie!
She clearly knows one end of a lens from the other too!

Well done MrsB then 😁
