Nutty Nuthatch

From time to time I glance across at my feeders and I see a new visitor, apart from the dozens of Goldfinches, Sparrows and tits.

I was sure I’d seen a nuthatch but it had seemed unlikely.

When it finally decided to stop raining, I celebrated by having a smoked salmon sandwich under the magnolia tree. I always have my camera ready. 

The nuthatch came, but flew off before I could snap.

Luckily, he came back. I think he likes the sunflower hearts. 

And yes, I do confess to cutting the crusts off my sandwich and they are there on the feeder.
