Just a peck
Months ago, I stopped hanging a bird feeder from the bedroom window because the chickens were attracted by the debris and crapping all over the slate paving below. The other day I found the feeder, still full of peanuts which had turned black and were covered with slug trails. Poised to empty it, on second thoughts I hung it back outside to see if anyone would be interested. The very next morning I was woken at six by the woodpecker, then joined by his/her offspring who hung from the bottom of the feeder while the adult popped pieces of nut into its eager beak. Unfortunately I didn't manage to get a picture, and by this morning, two days later, the youngster was able to feed itself on the manky nuts. As you see here.
