The great spotted woodpecker feeding station dance - the climb and slide, followed by the climb and twist - has started again.
Great spottie was seen to climb a feeder support branch, looked to see if a feeder port was free – yes – so she slid down the branch, then flew to another support branch.
She then climbed and twisted to eat from a seed port. Feeding and twisting lasted several minutes.
Thanks to Nigel for these pictures.
.... Climb and look busy....
..... then twist and feed ..... repeat as many times as you can.
The goldfinch is not bothered.
