Great woodpecker and young (Image: Julie Parish)
THIS picture of a male great woodpecker feeding a youngster was taken by Julie Parish from her kitchen window in Thornton-in-Craven.
You can tell the adult is a male because of its red nape. Juvenile's have a red crown and the females have no red on their heads at all.
