Eurasian Nuthatch

Eurasian Nuthatch / sitta europaea. Mapperley Wood, Derbyshire. 28/01/19.

 

Nuthatches remain within their breeding territory all year round as they are extremely sedentary. These characterful, monogamous birds commence their courtship in mid to late winter.

 

On the beautifully sunny January day this image was made, these two were definitely showing an interest in each other and keeping close together.
