Woodpecker update

This is the hole that the Great Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos major) has made.  I spent 3 hours today sitting and waiting.......

............and waiting..............

............and eventually saw...........

.........Nothing.   

Unfortunately due to last week being half term and the nest being located in a child's play area, it has been deserted.  I have identified it as a nest because, both male and female have been excavating the hole.  Whether the babies have hatched or not is unclear.  

Another note; I spotted a baby European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) on Campus.  And a funnier note;  I had my lunch stolen by a rather rude seagull.
