Nuthatch


For the first time in 14 years, since I moved here, I heard a nuthatch calling in Royce Wood on 3 March. This beautiful bird is similar in habit to woodpeckers, but has a very distinctive repetitive call and tends to prefer more mature woodland, so perhaps its arrival in Royce is a sign that the wood is growing up!
