Hi,
Went back to the tree I spotted the male on and found this female lesser spotted making this hole on the underside of a branch, is this going to be a nest? I think a design flaw is evident as eggs will plumet onto my lens when laid.
Cheers now

Hi Tim
it could be the start of a nesting site. Nice capture.

What a great experience it must have been being so close to this uncommon bird.
You must be happy to find these on your new patch.
Still plenty of tree to go at if she gets the first hole wrong.
Cheers Simon
