We hear yaffles and greater spotted woodpeckers and also lesser spotted woodpeckers have been seen in a garden just down the track to the woods, so although we have only seen them once or twice on the track, we almost certainly have them too.
The greater spotted woodpeckers have two sounds; the drumming when they are staking out territory, and a fairly random and quieter tapping when they are hunting for food. Not sure which is used when dealing with nest holes, but we have a number of trees with soft parts in them, and there are excavated holes in some of them that must be woodpecker holes for nests. Later they are taken over by all sorts of things; hornets, bees, and I would think almost certainly bats.
Slim, our woodpeckers, certainly round here anyway, are quite content with drumming on trees. Yours may either have harder heads or better cushions between beak and head. |
