The Nuthatch (sitta europaea)







One of the consequences of my tranquil suburban lifestyle is that I have started to twitch a bit. Back in the days when I lived my glamorous, playboy lifestyle at the People's University I scarcely noticed birds. Now moving slowly along with a buggy, my eyes are far more open to our feathered friends.

I was dropping Zoe off at nursery this morning and there, having their breakfast, were two nuthatches. A joy to watch! Out with the camera and here's the result.

Their distinctive characteristic is their long beaks and the way that they will climb upside down along a tree trunk.

Sir David would be proud of me!
