Nuthatch (Sitta europaea) |
Alongside the Woodpecker the gravity defying
Nuthatch is my favourite bird. Whereever I go I listen out for its bubbling
call. They are reasonably shy birds prefering the tops of trees but
in winter they will come down to feeders where suet and peanuts are
readily taken. Usually found where there are mature deciduous trees
though they are not commonly found everywhere. |

| Nuthatches nest in holes in trees. In order to keep larger birds out they collect mud and plaster it into the hole thus reducing its size. |
