We set up our nature camera to film the bird feeder at Gamekeeper's and got excellent video clips of the Greater Spotted Woodpecker. He was taking nuts and passing them to his son who had not worked out how to do it himself. The handover was beak to beak! You can see this on the video clip. We also host the Green Woodpecker but he was not the star this time.
