Could it be a Red-breasted Nuthatch?

Looks like a nuthatch to me! I always thought of them as more "gray" then blue though... :-S


I like to push buttons on thingies that take pictures. Sometimes I like to push other buttons, too.
I only bite on the second Tuesday of every week, usually only mean people - they kinda taste like chicken...

It's a Nuthatch indeed ... and a great result with a mirror lens, well done.

Nutatch, yip. They are a lovely mix of grey and blue in the main

Used to have a couple in my garden, but not seen them for a year or two. Were one of my wifes favourites
