Nuthatch

So this year, at the risk of attracting the attention of every comedian in the vicinity, I am aiming to spot/photograph 200 species of bird.

I sort of made a start last week but today was the first trip with the deliberate intention of spotting something.

So I was pretty pleased that the first outing threw up a bird I have not seen for many, many years. A good omen hopefully.

Middleton Lakes - see map.

A few extras of other spots.
