Have had greater spotted woodpeckers around for last 2/3 years. Seen both male and female in January and February, but have seen or heard nothing of them now for a few weeks! What can have happened to them? Feeders have been out and full all the time. Can't understand it. Any thoughts?

We have great spotted woodpeckers come to our bird feeders from time to time. Today, we saw one with a beak roughly twice the normal length. Has anyone else seen anything similar? How unusual is it?

Hi, as far as I know- they have a toughened skull- and their brain is cushioned so it does not move inside the skull and cause a concussion :) S
