Interesting, one has just been spotted in Mundesley which is only a few miles from me.

Nutcrackers are winter visitors from Scandinavia and Siberia. During 'invasions', nutcrackers can sometimes appear in large numbers. These winter visitors are often remarkably easy to approach; they are not used to people and do not readily see us as a threat.

Yes I saw this on X last night and noticed the photographer's were within touching distance. Although people say these birds are approachable it seemed to me the bird was very nervous.
