Nuthatches go down tree trunks headfirst, treecreepers go up, if you can't see the bird clearly enough.

Nuthatches also scold you for being there loudly, like wrens and robins do..

 

If you have nuthatches and jays, keep a sharp eye out for goldcrests  in hedges- they often like the same sort of territory,

and are often peeping to each other in pairs.   So so tiny...

About twice a year a horde of long-tailed tits turns up in my garden and it makes my week.

I was at Peter Gabriel's studio in Box last year, and right outside the window of the Tech Department there was

a bird feeder, with five of the wonderful cretures on it...a foot from my face!!

One of the tech boys said it was difficult to get any work done some days.....:)

^^^ That will leave everyone snookered for the maximum amount of time.

Back on the bird theme - most weekday lunchtimes I walk round a park local to my office.  There are a couple of jays in there too, which I enjoy looking out for.

Wasn't  'brid' the original ancient spelling??

My late father liked jays- and loved pointing out that it's Latin name  Garrulus Glandarius rather describes it.

 

 ( He also liked the name of the Wren, describing in secretive skulking movements: Troglodytes Troglodytes....)

 

 

 

Interestingly, on a bird theme, in 1946 Peter Adolph patented a new table football game.

 

He was not allowed to use the trade name 'Hobby' that he wanted,

 

so he used that bird's Latin Name:  Falco Subbuteo.
