Woodpeckers like suet

A new visitor to our suet balls is a Greater Spotted Woodpecker who makes short work of suet placed in the feeder and also makes a lot of noise about it. I find myself being woken sometimes not that long after dawn by the woodpecker's visits. A couple of days ago I heard a loud bang on the window of the room I was in and going outside found the woodpecker stunned on the ground, having flown into the window. It recovered after half an hour or so and seems none the worse for the experience. It is back eating through the suet again and I have just re-ordered supplies.
