Nuthatch (Sitta europaea) (explored)
Nuthatches are somewhat woodpecker-like, but more K species of nuthatch, with a second in Europe and a few elsewhere. The UK species is a woodland bird, always associated with trees or tall bushes. It has the unique habit in the UK of plastering mud around the entrance tagile, perching up on their feet with bodies and tails held well clear. They can descend head-first and hang upside down beneath twigs and branches.
There is one Uo its nest hole.....this nuthatch is very distinctive by his cross bill but doesn’t seem to bother him the 2 years I’ve been seeing him about is territory.
