Storm Eunice brought down many trees, some of which fell on houses causing much damage. One Greyfield resident had built his new home in the trunk of a tree. Unfortunately the storm blew the tree over. The wild cherry tree was found leaning over a well used path in the wood. It was necessary to fell it completely in order to make it safe.
The section of tree trunk with the woodpecker’s hole has been preserved, it can be seen at the main entrance corner to the wood, just across from the electricity sub station.
No doubt the woodpecker is busy again, making another home for this years brood of chicks. You may well be able to hear him at work when you walk in the wood.
