AKA - (Six acres and not a clue!) My personal diary of the comings and goings of wildlife during the development of my little piece of England. '...There shall be in that rich earth a richer dust concealed; A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware, Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam; A body of England’s, breathing English air, Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.' (R. Brooke)

Green woodpecker (Male) calling and drumming!
The entrance hole to the nest box was made at the size recommended in various guides, but it seems this chap wants a grander entrance; looking at the size of the bird, I can understand why as it does not look as if he will be able to get into the existing hole (5cm diameter). He's probably carrying a bit of lockdown excess weight as am I!
