Hi
My photography activities have been very limited over the last few weeks due to the constant grey gloom hanging over the UK and also beacuae my partner Dawn went in for a big operation which did not go well and suffered some very bad complications afterwards. Obviously photo opportunities while sat in intensive care are non-existant! I am very happy to say that she is now home but has a long recovery ahead and it is likely that any photography in the next few weeks will be very local and brief as I am now fully enrolled in home nursing duties.
Between hospital visits I popped to some local woods to take some nuthatch photos but the only bird I could find was this one, which had a strange beak although it did not seem to be suffering from its extra long upper bill.
