Feeding of one brood by two species of woodpeckers: middle spotted <i>Dendrocoptes medius</i> (Linnaeus, 1758) and great spotted <i>Dendrocopos major</i> (Linnaeus, 1758)
An unusual behaviour by two woodpeckers was observed in Niepołomice Forest (SE Poland). A female middle spotted woodpecker and male great spotted woodpecker were feeding a brood in one nest hole. This was likely not a case of a hybridising pair, but rather an example of interspecific feeding
