Helsington Barrows

Spent a couple of hours exploring Helsington Barrows yesterday evening.
Nuthatch feeding young - when I realised I was near the nest site I grabbed a couple of shots of the parent & young and then left them to it, although given the location of the nest I don't think they are too bothered about disturbance.
Cuckoo, Green Woodpecker & Great-spotted Woodpecker calling, but none of these were seen.
Marsh Tit, Great Tit, Chaffinch, Bullfinch, Wren, Chiff Chaff, Willow Warbler, Goldcrest, Mistle Thrush & Song Thrush all present.
No luck with Redstart as yet though.
