‘Woody’ and his wife are back!

We could see Woody, but he couldn't see us!

For the first time, sparing no expense, we present photographic evidence of the cheeky chappie.
You may remember back in July, 19th to be precise, we reported on the sudden disappearance of our feathered twosome conjecturing at the time as to how and why their departure could be quite so abrupt when they had been so attentive at the one-way kitchen window for so long.
Our prime theory of Woody simply abandoning the futile stalemate of a fight with his own reflection out of sheer frustration was clearly wrong for he is back fitter than ever manically beating at the window from the early morning again. He has even crafted a new technique where he is hovering, scrabbling at the window with his left foot at the same time as bludgeoning the glass with his powerful beak. It would seem that like the majority of our holidaying visitors he just took a vacation in order to recharge his batteries!
(You may, or may not, like to consult May 8th and Sept 9th last year for further references to the ongoing story)

Meanwhile seven years later:
We know now that the usual problem of our human encroachment was the final nail in the coffin of Woody’s odd antics. Woody had to stop when that parking lot was laid next door and all the trees were removed. Many thanks for the entertainment though Woody!
