you have to ask an expert
and that would be me...
first of all... the bird is utilizing the chimney to sound off
announcing his territory...since most dead trees are cut down leaving him little choice... than to find a substute,,, ie your chimney...
so if you cannot add a dead hollow tree somewhere..
the only thing you can do is to attract other wood peckers
and keep him ultimately busy.... with chasing them off..
at the moment he's trying to tell them via pounding the drum
to stay away from a distance...
the solution is
to feed them with beef suet... (difficult when it's hot)
cheapest at the christmas tree shops..
occasionally available at the supermarket if you ask the butcher..
