Martin Hughes-Games on the Nuthatch

TV presenter Martin Hughes-Games was surprised to discover nuthatch in his nestbox.

A new series of Tweet of the Day for Sunday morning revealing personal and fascinating stories inspired by birds, their calls and encounters.

Television presenter and former Springwatch host Martin Hughes-Games got a bit of surprise when he reviewed the footage from his nestbox camera.. Expecting to find a fluffy nest made by tits, what he saw was the course material nest of a nuthatch. These sleek birds of the woods with their slate grey backs may be beautiful but they can be thugs around the bird feeders. Readily taking to any available hole, to raise their young over the breeding season Martin watched on until the chicks fledged and began to cause trouble all over the garden.
