Well done Nuthatch. Coincidently I had a Song Thrush today. I spotted it perched in the top of my hazel tree. It never came down to feed as the Blackbirds were very active. :)

I am not to sure of the type of this bird I saw today. I was (from what I could see) Brown in colour. Similar size as a robin but was on the trunk of a tree facing down almost walking down the bark. Possible tree creeper?

Probably a Nuthatch. Tree Creepers always go up the trunk as their claws do not allow them to cling properly coming down.

Congratz on the treecreeper, Johnd :) . Not too common.
I saw one once - out in the wilds in Scotland. Never forgotten it.

Not sure what this is. I thought it was a tree creeper but maybe nuthatch.
