When I was throwing away some garbage today I heard a very loud bird “singing” or actually shouting "gi-gi-gi-gi". I could not see it but after a while I saw a small woodpecker and followed its flight until I discovered that he had built a new nest only a few meters away from where I burn my garden garbage. It is an old tree that has been halved in a storm some time ago and it looks like it now has two different nests. The proper name of the bird is Dendropcopos minor or Lesser spotted woodpecker and, as far as I know, it is the first time I have one on my plot.
