Post in Sick Woodpecker - what to do?
No sign of the woodpecker when I got home on Thursday, but tonight,
she (for I think she is a female but maybe juvenile) was there
feeding again on the lawn outside my flat.
She's clearly not in tip top condition and still clearly finds it
difficult to walk or fly terribly far, but again, she managed to fly
up, not too badly I thought, into the nearest oak tree, so I think
she's probably capable of getting out of danger and the fact that
she's feeding makes me think she'll do as well without any attempt at
intervention as getting humans involved in catching this shy bird
might traumatize her even more.
Latest picture attached.
