It took about half an hour before he was really with it. He was happily sat on my finger without seeming to realise I was there and then another woodpecker called very close by and he suddenly flew up to the top of a tree. Let's hope he's OK and will be back in early June with his chicks for more photos.

Cross-eyed woodpecker
This guy hit the kitchen window with a tremendous bang this afternoon. When I went out to investigate I wasn't expecting to find anything alive but he was. A magpie had heard the bang and was showing an unhealthy interest so I picked him up to keep him safe. He was completely stunned and only semiconscious but had no obvious major injury. I checked also that he wasn't ringed.
