Uncut clip from the stream of Starlings nest in Russia. Stream belongs to Oieg Pozdnaykov. A woodpecker jumped in the nestbox and attacked one of the nestlings. Luckily Mom returned quickly. At a moment some blood is seen both on the chick's beak, and on Mommy's beak, but it soon dried out and everyone is doing well. Minor injury without complications. The chick is quite fine later today too. It was a very scary moment, however, I must admit. Mommy's proximity saved the nest. A few weeks later all four chicks fledged in perfect health :)
