First time visitor to my garden this year so I am very happy to welcome this beautiful bird.

		It is having a look around first..the images are not the best as i had to rush to get the camera.....
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 central and southern England and in Wales, and is resident, with birds seldom travelling far from the woods where they hatch
		They have a varied diet eating,Insects, hazel nuts, acorns, beechmast and other nuts and seed
The Nuthatch has a long pointed bill and short tail , it climbs up, down and around the tree trunk and branches using its powerful toes.The Nuthatch will either use a hole in a tree or wall, or take over an abandoned nest. The hole may be reduced in size by plastering it with mud. The nest is made from bark chips and dead leaves.
