Nesting Woodpecker

After a not-so-nice weekend (I was house-ridden with a stomach bug), going back to work wasn't much of a reward yesterday or today. However, one thing that made it better was the presence of a male great spotted woodpecker going in and out of the underneath of a branch on an old tree just outside work. He was hammering away all day yesterday so I reckon we're looking at a [potential] nest site! That's the same tree that a pair of great tits are nesting in, further down.

Today I heard a blackcap singing loudly for a lot of the afternoon in the trees on the opposite side of the road from work, and a song thrush singing on the way home.
