Yes he does look a bit rough.
They are going to and from the nest hole about every 10 Min's or so feeding the young.
When we eventually get some sun I will try to get some flight shots.

I think woodpeckers also have quite dirty nests..... they
don't keep them clean

I was thinking the same and I realized I came across a lovely set of lenses the other day while looking for something else.

Thanks everyone for your comments.
I posted a few pics of my Sigma lenses a while back I'm surprised no one has commented.
I am thinking about selling the Sigma 400mm f5.6 APO Tele Macro as I don't use it that much.
