This afternoon the wind was back, blowing heavy grey cloud across the sky, with it were a mixture of drizzle and just a few. I only spent an hour out, as I soon realised there was little to be seen in the poor conditions, not one Butterfly was recorded, and the only bird of note was a flyover SPARROWHAWK.
I wasn't even going to post today, but as I got home, I put my key in the back door and heard the familiar whistle of a NUTHATCH - there back! They stopped using the garden feeders back in March, when they go to the woods to breed, but every June they return, and most welcome they are!
Here's a few pics, the light was variable under my elder tree, but they didn't come out to displeasing :-)
I liked the way the light caught the eye in the above image, enlarge pic to see.

That is a beautiful glint in the Nuthatch's eye. Nice capture – Tim
Did you have to go for the overkill, Warren ;-)
Nice pics though.
I would love to see one in my garden but never have. I might have stood a chance if the neighbours hadn't cut down all the native trees :(
That is a lovely glint in its eye. I think my favourite though is the last one.
'I wasn't even going to post today'. Would that have been a first Warren?....perish the thought.
I haven't seen a Nuthatch for ages, let along one with a twinkle in its eye! Lovely photos Warren.
Nice tree shot of the Nuthatch Warren
Very nice Nuthatch pics Warren, I would love to see that species in my garden. Don't think I ever will though.
Hi Warren, some nice Nuthatch shots of a cracking bird. Ive yet to see one in my garden, but never say never.
you got a bad day but you got wonderful pics Warren! Well done...
Ah, the Nuthatch, bright and lucid.
Hi Warren,
Could you send a few of those my way.I'm only just down the road from you !!
Nice photos that new lens seems to be working overtime at the moment
Now who's envious?
I haven't seen a nuthatch all year.
Mind you, I'm rarely in the right place.
