Spotted Woodpecker. Huntly, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. 24.9.2010

Great Spotted Woodpecker (female) at the bird peanut feeder. Filmed from inside through double glazing which doesn't help the quality of the image. I'll know another time ..... Thanks.

@howarth004 She comes down quite a lot. Must hear me filling up the feeders. Her mate, Mr. Spotty, has a red patch at the back of his neck. Quick on the wing like a dart but very ungainly on the ground. Shy birds. Soon as I open the back door they are off like an arrow.

@hildibildibaldi We used to get them when I lived in Huddersfield out garden backed on to a wood,and as you say very nervous bird.
