| | | Nuthatch Grooming Session.
I was at Sherwood Forest today and I had the privilege of a private audience with a Nuthatch as it had a grooming session.
I was only six foot away from the bird during the period.
Here's the bird at the start.   
Cant you just feel that itch?? 
All finished. 
How's this angle? 
Back to its superb best!
