Woodpecker chicks reared by hand at Warwickshire sanctuary

An animal sanctuary in Warwickshire is hand rearing five Greater Spotted Woodpecker, external chicks so they can be released back into the wild.

They were found near Nuneaton after a tree had fallen down.

They are about three weeks old and should be released within the next four weeks.

Catherine Clements and Geoff Grewcott from the Nuneaton and Warwickshire Wildlife Sanctuary told BBC Midland Today's Laura May McMullen that the chicks need feeding every hour.
