Nuthatch. It would be tempted by a birdfeeder, and though it would not normally be in a garden, unless that was in a wood or very close to one, the inducement may be too great. That would explain why you haven't noticed one before. You'd be doing well not to notice a chaffinch; that is common in gardens over most of the UK
Yes, its a nuthatch, thanks clod, just looked it up I have never seen one before, what a pretty bird it is, we have lots of chaffinches, blue, great and long tail tits, wagtails, gold finches (which are called King Harrys about here) a robin or two and a gang of sparrows(about 30) oh says I spend more on bird food than on people food, but I do love watching them
