for anyone wondering what the previously-cited bird is, in the picture at [www.crypticide.com] – it is a Nuthatch, a tree-dwelling, woodpecker-like, native British bird, although not a true woodpecker. It has unusual and heavily-clawed feet, permitting it to climb both vertically up and down tree trunks, in search of food, bugs, etc.
