Where are the Nuthatches in Irwell Vale, I have never seen any in this area, plenty of Tree Creepers but never a Nuthatch.

They are near the bridge that goes to Lumb Vale.  They are easily missed.  I wouldn't have noticed them had Bob Ives not pointed them out to me.  Somebody I spoke to who lives at Lumb Vale said that he gets them at his garden feeders on a regular basis.

cheers Kevin
