It is a bright and cold morning in Exeter and I was pleased to see a treecreeper on one of my large oak trees.
Funny thing about treecreepers is they always go up a tree looking for insects with their heads / beaks upwards – this contrasts with nuthatch who go downwards with their heads / beaks pointing down!
There are a good selection of birds in the garden at the moment including a family group of bullfinches, nuthatches, great tits, coal tits, blue tit and marsh tit.

I’ve noticed that. In the US the Downy woodpeckers go up.
