Nuthatch is one of my absolute favourite birds, something about them always delights. Today I spent a few hours trying to photograph a pair that were coming to a local woodland feeding station but being on the edge of the wood light was lacking and high ISOs were required to even get anywhere near 1/200th sec shutter speed. Still a few have come out quite well.
Locally Nuthatch went through a phase of rapid expansion in the local woods but now they are only found in Hockley Woods and Belfairs / Pound Woods. Those that 'may' breed in Belfairs are usually found in Pound Wood in the winter where they can put on a show.
Lets hope this charasmatic bird keeps its foothold in the local woods.
