Baby Woodpeckers!!

Spring has sprung and to my surprise - yesterday morning I was greeted with the site of 2 baby GS Woodys in the garden..  I have had 3 regular adult visitors for some time now, but genuinely didn't think they were breeding due to pretty much always being in the garden..
Anyhoo.. the noise made me look outside (not that I don't spend all day looking outside anyway)..and there on the fence were 2 chicks asking to be fed.. First mum, then dad took turns in passing them peanuts from the feeders.
At certain times throughout the day there were 2 adult males and 2 adult females in the garden, on the fence / feeders, so that indicates that there are a minimum of 6 birds now visiting..  
This is gonna be expensive..
But I'm not complaining.
