Here's a photo of my now regulararly returning GS Woodpecker, feeding on suet balls. The it is fixed to has 1'' holes drilled in it, filled with home-made bird cake. I put this together earlier in the week, and have been able to watch the woodpecker feeding on it hearly every day. It has also been used by starlings, and a single robin too.
