Young Woodpeckers

[Chipchopper]

Just noticed the great spotted woodpeckers have raised their young already and are teaching them to use the feeders.
They look very dapper with their red caps.

I often here them but, sadly, rarely see them:

we have one (or two ... hard to tell) which pops into the garden to feast on the fat/seed logs that I hang out. I can't ell how many and have seen no evidence of babies...how lucky you are.

As far as I can tell, they are a none gregarious bird, normally seen in pairs or small family groups.
I think it's also quite normal for them to have just one young.
If I find a feather, I can't resist picking it up.
