Nuthatch - on 4th January, 2013

I'm a bit under the weather at the moment, and so trying to stay out of the cold frosty or snowy air, so no images lately - not even from the garden!

Here's some more images from my last session at Calke Park which I didn't publish at the time as I'd only just done a post with Nuthatch images.




Nuthatch - Calke Park
Music

My last post featured the music of John Mayall. Blues guitarist Eric Clapton famously had a spell with John Mayall, and was featured on probably the most famous of the Mayall LPs - "the Beano album". After Mayall, Eric Clapton became a part of the 'supergroup' Cream. I was lucky enough to see Cream live a few times. Ginger Baker's drumming was amazing, and Jack Bruce, as well as being a great bass player, was a very talented songwriter and vocalist. This is one of my favourite numbers from Cream

    Really nice shots here. This is one Nuthatch I have yet to see. Hope you feel better soon. I've got a bug right now and it hit me yesterday. No birding until I get better....and that's hard not to do!

      Thanks Chris. It's been really frustrating today, as we've had our first snows of the year. Everywhere looked amazing - and I just felt it would have been stupid for me to go out.

      I hope that you are soon mended!

    Beautiful Nuthatch, my fave is number 4, detail is brilliant. Funny, I was listening to Vacation by John Mayall, brilliant minds.

    It's a beautiful bird, Richard, photographed really nicely in that golden light. Sorry to hear you're under the weather mate. Get well soon.

      Thank you Christian. Not too bad - just a mild chest infection, but it seems to be lingering.

    I hope you are feeling better soon. I really, really like these Nuthatch pictures. We used to get one in the garden, but it hasn't been back for ages. From Findlay

      Thank you Findlay. We have had Nuthatch in the garden but it doesn't happen very often. You'll get one back one day.

      Thank you Karen for your kind words - and also for visiting when I know you don't usually comment on sites with word verification. Regretably I found it necessary to introduce this on my site. Oh for the day when blogger come up with a way of totally blocking people from sending anonymous comments!

      Thank you Linda. I know what you mean! Got too stir-crazy late yeterday afternoon and went for a gentle two-hour walk. Didn't see anything to cheer my spirits, and came back feeling distinctly worse for wear!
