Woodpecker on the rhus tree stump

I've been noticing a great spotted woodpecker coming into the garden increasingly for the last few weeks. It generally flies specifically to the sunflower feeder, which is hanging only a few yards from this old rhus tree stump. 

But now it visits the others suet pellet feeder just outside the back door as well as pecking at the branches of the pussy willow tree hunting for bugs and grubs on and under the bark.

Today I saw that there were two woodpeckers, a male and female, and at one point they swapped positions on the sunflower feeder before both flying onto this rhus tree together.
