After more than twenty years of living in Melsonby, we have just had our first-ever Nuthatch in the garden this evening. They are firmly established in the Holme and Tees valleys to the south and north of Melsonby (around Hartforth and Piercebridge for example), but this is maybe an indication of a minor extension to their range.
