nuthatch.

Hi everybody. I am back for a short time with just a few new photos. I am offering birding short stays for one or two persons here with me in the south of France, if anyone is interested you can mail me. Loads of Hawfinches in my garden to wet ones appetite.

Nutty...posing in the garden.

I have been trying to capture a photo of a Nuthatch in flight taking one of the nuts from the feeder. They are very fast. This is my best so far but will try again tomorrow with more speed.

Nuthatch.

Do you realize the cost involved in getting such good bird models and ones that can really pose, this one certainly knows the business and how to charge. Ten walnuts, six hazelnuts and a large portion of seed daily. lol.

Have always wanted to get these guy's in the snow, so when it snowed yesterday, off I went this morning to the wood.

Nuthatch.

My last shot of 2015. taken at the end of December "when the sun did come out for ten minutes", of one of my favourite birds. Happy New Year everyone Andy.

Captured a close up of this Nuthatch on a downward move with his walnut.

Anxious to try out the new camera, what happens FOGGGGG. Sun did come out in the afternoon and some good results I think.

The Woodpeckers are not the only ones that like the Walnuts that I put out. This Nuthatch had been making fleeting visits and dodging the gauntlet of the Woodpeckers. His persistence paid off big time with the size of the nut. Well done nutty.

Super pose.
