We get one very occasionally in our garden.

We used to see them quite a lot when we lived in Dorset but only occasionally here in Devon.

The Nuthach is a very 'well dressed' bird. Used to be an occasional visitor to gardens only, but more common now.
Seem to remember that the Nuthatch can feed, 'upside down'.

A bizare observation, but I think it has a lovely 'bum'
It's underside, nearest the tail, is a lovely mottled effect
