Another Languedoc year...

Keep out

We were shown round a house in the village today. It has recently undergone major refurbishment. I asked why the water bottle was in a hole in the wall. Apparently the wire cage over the vent was removed during the building works and a woodpecker used the hole to fly in.

Once inside the bird flew around then failed to find the exit. So it set to, trying to peck its way out of the teak front door. It managed to do huge damage before someone arrived and let it out. The door is going off to the woodworker's workshop to have a chunky panel replaced. All that damage from on small beak.
