Great Spotted Woodpecker chick being fed

Today in Streatham Wood, having heard a persistent, unceasing bird cry, I Finally investigated it, the call lead us to a tree with a smallish hole, at first I thought it was a nuthatch nest but then a great spotted went up to the hole with a worm in its mouth and a bug eyed, red Mohawked chick grabbed the worm - a perfect little Great Spotted Woodpecker chick, the crying only stopped for a split second as it wolfed down the worm. Back in Bedford Wood the female sparrowhawk was still on the nest, we saw the male flying over the pond on Tooting Bec Common, then, a few minutes later, flying very high above the wood and then near the railway line between the wood and the lido. There was lots of wonderful bird call in all the woods, I thought I saw a white throat in Conyers Road earlier on. We saw lots of Dunnock and, I think, a female Black Cap by the A214.
