Young Woodpeckers Arrive (& Depart)

The young Great Spotted Woodpecker have finally arrived in the garden.  The male is bringing two individuals with very different head markings.  The female will probably be taking at least 2 others  somewhere else.  The remaining photos were mainly taken at Alkborough Flats and Messingham Sand Quarry.
