Having fledged from a nest in the wood at the end of the garden, this young Nuthatch was, along with a sibling, in and out of my garden for about three weeks in the summer of 2005. They spent much of their time searching for insects under the peeling bark of my children’s old rustic swing and they also discovered a taste for nibbed peanuts placed in a container on one of the bird-tables. Occasionally, they would also have a go at the whole peanuts in the feeders, but with less success.
