I can't help myself when it comes to lanterns, bird feeders and the odd wind-chime. Woodpeckers however, won't come near... could be the glare of the lights, the clanking of the chimes or is it the ravenous squirrel and his close relatives the lemon possets, all dangling by their tails digesting a three course meal from the banqueting table and dangling take-away kiosks :) Cid Miles,

Would you like a photo of tree damage done by "wintering" deer? Melissa Miles,

Some can be nesting holes but often they are simply gouged out holes for grubs etc. Miles Laura,

And boy are they loud! I'm wondering if some of those large holes you spotted aren't nesting cavities? L Hi Miles:

I had no idea that there were these 2 types of woodpeckers - apart from the different species, of course. I see a lot of great spotted woodpeckers in Germany and the odd green ones. I have got to know the stretch of woodland that they occupy and their flight paths. Unfortuntely, I am minus your photography equipment :( Anne Miles,

Am I right in thinking they only set about trees already dead or is that just a myth. Great picture All the best Rod Miles,
