What bird am I

Spotted this little fella behaving like a woodpecker. In fact it was the pecking at this hole that drew my attention to it. This bird is only slightly bigger than a sparrow. Sorry it's not too clear, I got as close as I could.

It certainly looks close, Robin. I know they sometimes take over old woodpecker holes and make large ones smaller, but this was definately hammering at the partial hole to make it bigger. Have to gp back with my video cam.

I think it's a nuthatch. If it was doing a lot of it's poking about 'upside down' then that would make it even more likely - erm, but I am guessing a bit (& squinting)

A Nuthatch always remind me of the Concord with it's shape,l think we have a family of them in the garden as they are always around,but the other day l saw one the same shape hammering away at the tree,bet he's gotta a headache ;D but it was the same colouring as a Sparrow ??? l was told it was a fledgling,but it was the same size as the adults :o

Ah yes got it...whew thats a relief , I saw some first young sparrows in the garden today, all fluffed up and mum busy feeding them. I swelled up with pride too, well I've been putting water, and food out for mum, so take a bit of credit. Isn't nature great.
