Flaggspett | Great spotted woodpecker (Dendrocopos major)

This youngster is fully capable of catching its own food by now, but conveniently sits on this dead branch hoping the parents will continue the feeding.

Its incessant calling and nagging still seems to strike a cord with the parents as they frantically roam the trees for food which they conveniently deliver on this branch right outside my house. This is taken from my roof.

Elevation 15 meters
