Nuthatch

A fairly common breeding resident. 

Bland and Dadds (2012) estimated the local breeding population as 1,000 pairs. 

Wheeler (1874) said it was ‘tolerably common, in woods’ and Charbonnier (1899) ‘resident, common’. 

The 1925 SBR said it was ‘common and resident in well-timbered country in most parts of the district’ and Davis (1947) called it ‘resident, local but fairly common in suitable woodland areas’.
