Green Woodpecker foraging on thatched roof
I received this note and photo from David Hosking in the UK: This male Green Woodpecker is one of a pair that has regularly visiting the thatched roof of a house in England during the autumn and winter months. They have done this since this roof was re-thatched 5 years ago and seem to probe through the wire netting for insects.
They might build their nest there soon since they seem to be pretty interested with that thatched roof. That can become a problem since woodpeckers are known for jabbing at wood with their beaks to make holes. That can damage the structure of the roof over time.
