First Garden Nuthatch

Popped home (Copley Hill) for lunch today and saw the first Nuthatch I have seen in our garden, I have seen them several times near the church in Copley so knew it wouldnt be too long.

Not a rare bird but I do like watching their antics - used to get plenty in when we lived up Berwick so nice to be getting them here now.

Hi Andrew.I heard one at the top of Bankhouse Wood this morning. Probably the same one, as my back garden is very close to Copley Hill. Over the years, except they were non-exsistent around here a bit back, I've noticed they do turn up from time to time, without settling in. Nearest place someone found a nest was High Royd Sewage Farm, the other side of Sowerby Bridge. Do you get in the Murg, or the Standard?

Hi Steve,

Dont go up to either of the pubs very often I am afraid, my father in law goes up to the Standard quite a bit though so you might know him - Ronnie Hill.

No, I don't know Ronnie by name. I get in the Murgatroyd mostly, but only a couple of times a month, if there is some promising live music offered.
