Juvenile Great Spotted Woodpecker

We had a surprise visit from a juvenile Great Spotted Woodpecker this afternoon. This is only the third time we've seen a GSW in the garden since we moved in a year ago. We've had a lone male, lone female and now a lone juvenile. Each bird has always landed on the same peanut feeder so I refuse to move it anywhere else! It must be visible from the near-by wood.

Unfortunately this feeder is around fifteen metres away from the kitchen window, so a decent photo is out of the question. Maybe they will venture to a closer feeder one day. The background to this feeder will be green and bushy one day, too!
