Wildlife UK Forum - Discuss the UK countryside and wildlife

Hello everybody.

I idly thought about using the infra-red interval trigger that I normally use for kite aerial photography on one of my bird feeders, and came up with this pretty quickly:

The feeder hangs off an oak where (presumably this) Nuthatch has an anvil branch, and the tapping echoes round the valley.

Anyway, I was so pleased with my first proper bird photo I had to bore somebody with it!

Very ingenious! And a clear photo too. Welcome to the Forum Jay!

HI Jay,
Thank you for showing us your photo. I love nuthatches, they have always been one of my favourite birds. Look forward to seeing more of your photos. Jane

Cracking shot! I've been trying to film a nuthatch for days now... Wonderful picture!

Here he or she is again, the next day:

Very nice shots, very clear indeed.
Looks like you live in a very nice area

Wow, great shots! Brilliant idea to do that.

There is a Nuthatch thread already open if anyone is interested:

So there is.
