It actually manages to get some food from it with the long beak. I also suspect it to be the bird who picks up the peanut that I lay out in one of the flower pots every day.
Striking colors! Love woodpeckers:)
Nice spotting (tee hee)
Great spotting!
Wow! He (She?) is awesome.
Right? I was hyped seeing it there. I saw it before in the tree, pecking along, but never near my balcony.
I have one that live in my backyard (Ohio/USA) or at least someone who looks very similar. It eats the black oil sunflower seeds i put out, but seems to prefer ants or other insects
What kind of feeder is this?
I built this myself from sticks, wire, a plastic lid from a box of licorice, a lid with seeds and a small plastic bucket with some fatty homemade tit food. I stuck it into the flower pot, but it is quite shaky due to pigeons landing on top of it. And parakeets and apparently woodpeckers :)
Better view of it:
