NUTHATCH // SITTA EUROPAEA (14cm)

RATHER DUMPY and short tailed woodland bird, famous for its habit of descending tree trunks head-downwards in a jerky manner. The chisel-like bill is used to prise insects from tree bark and to hammer open acorns wedged into bark crevices, and peanuts pushed into tiny crevices, by photographers like me, so they dont make a more rapid retreat.

Just love these birds to bits.
