Interesting fact: the Nuthatch is the only British bird that descends a tree trunk head first.
There are 220,000 pairs in England and Wales. Numbers are increasing and it is spreading into southern Scotland. It is a woodland bird, and quite shy. As we saw yesterday, it will visit feeding stations. This one was behind the visitors centre in the car park at RSPB Arne. It is readily recognisable with its blue-grey upperparts, buff underparts and black eye stripe.
