It was back to Moore at lunch time, where I found the male Lesser Spot still hard at his excavations. A great sight, I've never seen Lesser Spotted Woodpecker so well.
A video of the action on YouTube.
If you wonder why some of these photos look out of focus, it's mainly because the bird is constantly moving. Just look at the spray of wood chippings flying off the tree in this photo for an indication of how fast it is moving!
