Great Spotted Woodpecker Father and Chick

Link to video via Google Drive

Today on my woodland trail camera setup, I managed to capture a father Great Spotted Woodpecker helping his chick feed on my suet ball feeder.

I was shocked because I thought that only the females looked after the chicks, but it seems that the males have a lot to do with raising the young.

Note that the camera and feeder are set up in my own private woodland and I check the camera everyday after work.

Thanks, Jake
