Nuthatch

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!

HI Jay,
