A young Great Spotted Woodpecker decided to pop into my conservatory this afternoon for a nosey:





Theres been a number feeding in the garden for the last few weeks on my feeders, but this one looks like he decided to have a look around the house as well.

After a while I managed to coax him out of the door again

I bet that gave you a shock! Mucks is going to be jealous, he has to go and seek wildlife rather than the other way round

At least he didn't peck any holes in anything

One of my roommates at university had a crow fly in to her room (though a window that only opens slightly, so no idea how!) - we had to capture it to get it out in the end, and it made one heck of a noise!

Lovely pic Ady.

Interesting pose he's adopted - looks like he couldn't get his claws round, or into, anything. Never heard of one indoors before.

Aww, he is very cute. Those are good pics Ady - we have seen a couple in our garden recently too, haven't had any popping indoors yet though

He couldn't seem to find anything to perch on - then he flew and gripped against the back wall (exposed brick) and looked much more natural...tried to get a pic of that but he was too quick and out the door again
