Can you see the Nut Hatch...🌲

Hi everyone,

Well its a lovely sharp day today and I went into the forest and noticed some squirrels a great tit and a nut hatch feeding from from some seeds so I stayed still and zoomed my camera (on my phone) and photo'd the nut hatch, they're pretty little birds so it was great stumbling onto this one. I wish's I had a camera with a zoom lens for birds now.

I think that people don't walk often enough or very far nowadays and think thats a pity as I make time to walk as it is so beneficial health wise mentally and physically...well as long as you don't walk in the middle of the road LOL 😂

That's a very lovely picture you took today, Hidden ! I wish I could get pictures of animals in general like that when I have my phone with me. Most of the animals I see here and there are some cats and dogs (the birds here don't sit/stay long enough to get a clear image).

Thanks Leah, it was in a hole in the tree and peeping out at first so I waited and was lucky, here's a link to nut hatches as they're lovely little birds...😀

I showed my Niece the pictures of both nuthatches. She likes them!😀👍

I think you did well to spot that Jerry. Lovely little birds. No I agree people don’t walk far enough. Maybe it’s hard to find the time. When I worked in an office I used to go for a walk at lunch time to wake myself up and recharge my batteries.🚶‍♀️👍

Thanks Ali, I watched them run up the tree trunk and stop, so knew roughly where it was.

I bet if you'd stayed in the office lunch time you'd have felt sleepy all afternoon whereas a walk is refreshing, so good for you. 👍

I do see the little guy... good shot. I totally agree we all need to walk more.

Thanks Mottsie, I tried to get as close as I could and what better motivation seeing wildlife in action. 😊

Hi Hidden

Maybe you'll have to consider getting a zoom lens - but I think you've captured this extremely well without one. Well done.

Hi Zest, thank you and its funny that you said that as I've been talking to young debs about her camera hence the photo of the moon on HE. 😊
