Nuthatch


The nuthatches are a genus, Sitta, of small passerine birds belonging to the family Sittidae. Characterised by large heads, short tails, and powerful bills and feet, nuthatches advertise their territory using loud, simple songs. Most species exhibit grey or bluish upperparts and a black eye stripe.
These images were taken at my favourite hide at Thornley Woods. It was freezing cold but a beautiful morning so i braved the cold for an hour but never got many good shots unfortunately. These were about the best I got. I saw a deer but wasn't close enough to get a decent photo.
