Hi Joe
I have seen them in Essex - Shut Heath Wood, woodland in Birch many years ago, and from memory I think also possibly Fingringhoe Wick.

I have seen them all over Essex. They are not that uncommon, just secretive and well camouflaged. Try to keep your eyes open for movement close to the tree trunk, they tend to move up and round in a spiral pattern. Thorndon countryside park was particularly good I seem to remember.

Indeed, the ones I have seen tend to favour the other side of the tree trunk once they realise I am there!

I've seen a few on the outskirts of Chelmsford and at Warley Place. They're very hard to spot, especially if your hearing means the calls are difficult to hear!
Up in Suffolk Christchurch Park in Ipswich is excellent for them, good population and you can sometimes get very close!

Closest I've seen one was about 4 feet away, woods west of seventy acres lake north of Waltham Abbey. Went straight round the other side and vanished.
Saw one this morning at Lyndford Arboretum (but that's in Suffolko
).

I saw one at EWT Hanningfield reserve on the 22nd October on an oak tree outside the first hide out from the visitor centre. I was told that there was a Treecreeper about so I stood and waited for about 5 minutes and one appeared from nowhere. Another lifer. )
Thanks for the info on the Nuthatch and LSW, I'll bear that in mind.
