Hi Ietermagog, I see you have made a species ID suggestion here & on other spottings that have already been correctly identified! Please can you only make suggestions where the species is either unidentified or wrongly identified, Thanks!
What a nice nest/hole in the tree!
Ah, that was supposed to be at the front! I'll change it now.
especially like the second photo
