The nuthatch is a plump bird about the size of a great tit that resembles a small woodpecker. It is blue-grey above and whitish below, with chestnut on its sides and under its tail. It has a black stripe on its head, a long black pointed bill, and short legs. It breeds in Northern,Central and Southern England and in Wales, and is resident, with birds seldom travelling far from the woods where they hatch.

Dang Richie, from the description of that bird, it sounds like Bob. Nice capture.

Reminds me of an old story about someone keeping an eye out for someone. :)
Good shot.

Hark at Momma's remark!...I don't have a black stripe on me head...only a wide white one!

You got a canny one here!

He looks ready to take off. We have the same here. When it is on the feeder, the others keep off. That beak shows you why.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
