Gary . get down the pet shop and buy a bag of dried meal worms .  If you can get in close to take a pic you can give them a feed . I have done it . They just open up when you put your hand in .

I had that fella ( great spotted ) recently . I watched him , he did not eat any thing but hung around watching for 30 secs and then flew off !

We're blessed here:  Mr and Mrs Woody must spend half their lives on one of our feeders - how they can still haul their fat asses into the air is a surprise given the amount of peanut and sunflower heart they're getting through.  I hope and suspect that it's not all for them though; I can't wait to see a bungling fledgling or two falling about the nearby oaks or copper beeches while Mum and Dad shout 'see dem dangly things down thar? Dem's food dey is'!

I love them but they are not all good . Have watched them open up the hole in a blue tit box and pull the chicks out .

To eat or to get the nestbox (probably too small)?
