Jay The Jay is a large and colourful bird yet is rarely seen.  Its harsh call is  often heard when walking in woodland however.  Being a member of the Crow family it is highly intelligent and particularly alert to intrusion in its home territory and its call as it flies to safety alerts all inhabitants of the woodland to our presence. For this reason it is sometimes known as the Watchman of the Woods.  When rarely seen in the open and flying to the nearest woodland cover it is identifiable  by its large size and obvious white rump.

Nuthatch The Nuthatch is one of the most colourful birds to be found in Britain.  It is to be found in mixed and deciduous woodland, parks with mature trees and in winter regularly visits gardens where it takes a variety of wild bird food such as seed, fatballs and peanuts.
Its call varies from four or five consecutive whistles followed by a very quick repetition, likened in the past to that of an errand boy, or a soft but resounding 'chit-chit-chit'. 
Uniquely among British birds the male of the species seals the female inside the selected nest chamber, a hole in a tree or occasionally a nest box, by daubing mud around its rim until their young hatch from the eggs. Once they have hatched the female is released so that she can assist with feeding the young.
The species is to be found in the south and Midlands of England and Wales though it is enjoying expansion to the north and into Scotland where it has bred.
