2 juv. Great-spotted Woodpeckers foraging on my parent's lawn in Foston today. Apparently they've been doing this regularly, anyone else seen GSW ground-feeding (in gardens or elsewhere)? Alex |

Alex, GSW bred this spring in a tree bordering the Bracebridge Heath Cricket Club ground. I often walk around the boundary area for relaxation - fresh air, some magnificent trees, some 'good' birds (but no Spotted Flycatchers, as yet) and I have regularly seen both the male and the female GSW ground-feeding there......prodding at the same area usually and not moving around very much. No juveniles seen as yet. Freddy |

No, but I have had a Green woodpecker attacking the bark on the Blue Cedar in my garden. I've never seen one trying to feed anywhere but on the ground before. David |

Hello, David, We often see a Green Woodpecker feeding on the trunk of a Cypress Oak, up to three feet above ground level, to the front of our house. I assume it has found an ant run. Richard....... |
