What has caused this damage?

I had heard that all the birds down there were common!

So you have been to Plymouth!

Could be a squirell with an anxiety complex, probably named Boris.

I was out walking my perm this morning and I came across 3 trees with what looks like something has been pecking out bits of wood. The trees in question looked like there were all dead and rotting. My only idea was either squirrels or wood peckers but I am no expert.

There is no live stock in these forests.

Woodpeckers in NI?
