Mother and Child

We sometimes get a Woodpecker at the Feeder on the Lawn. Today we had the mother or the father as well as a youngster. The youngster played around for a while after the adult was disturbed and flew off. I expect their nest is not far away, as they appeared several times this afternoon.

The youngster didn't know quite what to make of the Blackbird appearing alongside it, nor of the 20 or so House Sparrows who surged around. Glad that I also was around to take several shots...
