That woodpecker again

The Great Spotted Woodpecker returns several times per day and peeks into the birdbox. There are still 2 chicks in the nest and that was enough for him to try to drill a hole in the box. Fortunately the box is made out of good quality wood but the damage is building up.

Also this time the mother attacked the woodpecker ferociously while outside the box but of course there is not much she can really do. After a while she flew into the box and started threatening the woodpecker from inside.
