Nuthatch

This is just a young nuthatch. Normally when the adults feed they are upside down on the feeders. The adults are very hard to get a picture of as the very least movement and they are gone. This little one has not learnt to be as wary

Is this bird called a nuthatch because it eats nuts out of a hatch? Excellent capture!

@maggiemae @beachdog @kimdavis @cashew @photographycrazy @pamknowler @ingrid_marianna @brillomick @evilsockmonkey @dizzyd @gijsje @flowerfairyann @thresheg @elisasaeter @bruni Thank you all for your interest in my pictures and comments. This is a first for me also to see a baby nuthatch. At first I didn't realize what it was, it was only when it started to try and peck the nuts upside down but failed I knew what it was.
