Would you dangle upside down to get a meal? It's all part of everyday life for a nuthatch - one of my favourite birds to watch. They're not afraid to hang upside down or run headfirst down tree trunks while looking for food. But then they have long, curved claws to help them hang on to the bark.
I wonder how many people saw nuthatches at the weekend as part of Big Garden Birdwatch? Send us your results and we'll be able to find out!

We have a nuthatch that regularly visits our feeding station but not during our chosen birdwatch hour so he is not recorded. It is always exciting to see him arrive on the nut feeder.
