We need a better camera
Walking round the lake, we sometimes see some fauna we don't recognise so usually take the trusty camera with us. This bird needed the later analysis of several photos to work out it's a Nuthatch:
The RSPB says "The nuthatch is a plump bird about the size of a great tit that resembles a small woodpecker. It is blue-grey above and whitish below, with chestnut on its sides and under its tail. It has a black stripe on its head, a long black pointed bill, and short legs." and "Best looked for in mature woods and established parkland ..., on the sides of tree trunks and underside of branches."
