Unusual birds venturing north

Bill Cumming asks if nuthatches are an unusual sighting in the west of Scotland (Letters, November 21).

A pair of nuthatches have been regular visitors to my garden in Drymen, first spotted about two years ago.

I also saw a flock of waxwings from my office window in the very centre of Clydebank last week, right next to a busy main road, which shows you don't have to venture out to the countryside to see unusual birds.
