Pansyface,sorry but I have to correct you - it's the juvenilles that have the red cap and the male adults have red on the back of their necks.
Jack, it is a chick from this summer that is visiting you at the moment.
Yes, a baby one - how exciting - they keep their red heads for the whole summer. We get them here, and it is still a thrill every time we spot them. Love their "loopy" flight pattern too
You lucky devil Jack. What a combination. I've never seen a woodpecker at a feeder before. What luck and great to be able to get these photos.
What a fabulous picture - and it makes up for the trapped starling. You are doing great.
