@Strawman, yes its my garden in the woods and we enjoy the wildlife company.
@Michael, there's a nuthatch, a great tit, female chaffinch, female great spotted woodpecker then her youngster makes a brief appearance. Near the end a male chaffinch gets chased away.
The young woodpecker can feed itself but begs for food whenever a parent is around. Its father is more patient and will feed it for longer, but I've not managed to catch that on video yet.

I love your birdfeeder videos, Chris. As I write this, there are baby phoebes chirping outside my window. They perch on my tomato frames and wait for their parent to come to them with a bug. Every now and then one makes a clumsy attempt to snatch a flying insect themselves. They get better at it as June turns into July. I've thought about filming them, but the freeway noise that hovers over my backyard is no where as idyllic as the birdsong you have in yours.
