Red-breasted Nuthatch

 I saw my first ever Red-breasted Nuthatch about 31 years ago. Not in the US but at Holkham Pines in Norfolk. It was accepted as a first for Britain and certainly a first for me. Lovely bird, lovely call, I saw it several times during its 5 month stay. You could often find it by its call or see it drinking from a gutter on the old summer house.


This year I've got at least 3 hanging around the yard. I'm keeping the feeder well stocked up with black sunflower seed in the hope of attracting a flock of Evening Grosbeak. Hoping. In the meantime here's a few of the Nuthatch from today.
