CULPRIT: The woodpecker is looking for a mate
Sleep-deprived residents have filmed a lovelorn woodpecker hammering away at metal chimneys and aerials.
As the News reported, it began annoying people in the High Street area of Fen Ditton last month.
He has infuriated residents as he gets going with his noisy antics as early as 5am.
The bird often carries on through the day – it is thought he is trying to attract a mate with his drumming.
Colin Lang, 57, who lives with his wife Christine in Fen Ditton, said it sounded “like a road drill”.
He said: “I see him outside my bedroom window drumming on the chimney three houses away. You can hear him down the street.”
Male woodpeckers attract females by hammering on objects, with a louder noise making them appear stronger and a better mate.
Females play hard to get usually until the end of May, when peace should return to Fen Ditton.
