My First Nuthatch

This is the first time I have managed a shot of a Nuthatch its not spectacularly sharp but I think passable. Would have preferred a shot without the bird feeder but I could not manage one in the trees. It was a pretty gloomy day in Hebden one day I might manage to visit my friends when the sun shines

 

 

The nuthatch is a plump bird about the size of a great tit that resembles a small woodpecker. It is blue-grey above and whitish below, with chestnut on its sides and under its tail. It has a black stripe on its head, a long black pointed bill, and short legs. It breeds in central and southern England and in Wales, and is resident, with birds seldom travelling far from the woods where they hatch.
