Well I had considered it may be a bird, but was think more in terms of
Ravens, Rooks, Crows or Jackdaws all of which we get, I have never seen a
green wood pecker here mores the pity.

The fact that the spoil is normally to one side makes me think a bird is
less likely but not having watched a hole dug by a bird who knows!
