Little Carpenters is a short documentary about the colonisation of the east coast of Ireland by the Great Spotted Woodpecker. It follows me as I head to Wicklow and film the Woodpecker with the help of local expert Dick Coombes who has been on the Great Spotted Woodpeckers trail since their first arrival in Ireland 10 years ago. It follows the birds as they fight to feed and raise their young until they are ready to make that first leap from their protective nest in the trees out into the world beyond. I made this film as part of an MA in Wildlife Filmmaking that I did at UWE Bristol.
