Aw! I love woodpeckers!

Brilliant footage. Well done :) I've yet to capture any footage of the Woodpeckers that visit. They take off the second they spot me!

Thank you @devonmuse ~ The Woodpecker is visiting my garden feeders (nuts and suet bars) regular at the moment ~ I hide behind the window of the computer room which overlooks the Bird feeder Tree :-)

Nice video. Your woodpeckers have similar colors but different pattern than ours in the US.

Thank you agile1111 ~ yes I've noticed that lots of British birds are similar to US birds :-)

Awesome video of the Great Spotted Woodpecker. I'd love to have one visit my garden.

Hi GoldfinchGarden ~ I'm really lucky that the Great Spotted Woodpecker will visit my nut feeders in my garden occasionally in the Spring and Summer, but I live close to a wood which helps ~:-)

nice video, maybe I'll see one of these when I'm in the UK?

Hi MaryMcAndrew ~ Great Spotted Woodpeckers will be found mostly in the woods, but I was lucky I'm on the edge of a wood and it visits the Nut feeders in my garden :-)
