Nuthatch probing around deadwood in Hawthorn Wood Hide looking for new places to stash peanuts :)

Lots of beautiful mixed tit flocks around the site, with lots of wonderful birds in including goldcrest, warblers, willow tits, and a massive flock of about 40 juvenile goldfinch feeding on Forgotten Meadow.
