Also filmed them for 20 minutes, might put that up later.
	Quiet minds cannot be perplexed or frightened but go on in fortune or misfortune at their own private pace, like a clock during a thunderstorm. I hope that I never become famous and someone trawls my contributions on this site looking for the odd post which may be offensive. Force them to pluralise words by putting apostrophes in, then everyone will mock them as imbeciles!

No, but I have heard woodpeckers will eat the young of other birds. You'd think they'd just mug people coming out of McDonalds for free food. No sign of the little woodpecker, haven't heard any woodpecker chirpings these past days.

Quiet minds cannot be perplexed or frightened

This morning we still see the adults zooming across the garden and chirpings in the bushes, and I spotted a little one on a branch of a tree bobbing about - when I summoned Pirkko to see it, it had vanished, so it looks like they can fly. We might keep an ear and eye out for them.

Not 'ours' but here is one that has just left the nest:
