Very nice. What a neat looking hole, you couldn't drill a rounder and more precise one :cool: :toast:

Hello Paula.

Thanks for the comment. This is what you would call in the right place at the right time.We were taking Nuthatchs when we spotted this Woodpeck. We just watched him as he flew around in the woods. And when he landed on this old dead Silver Birch. And when he went into the hole we could'nt believe our luck. They are still makeing the hole as when they go inside lots of wood chipings keep comming out. So hopefully there might be more to come. :wavey:
