NUTHATCH // SITTA EUROPAEA (14cm)

DUMPY and short-tailed woodland bird, the Nuthatch has the habit of descending tree trunks head-downwards in a jerky mannor. The chisel-like bill is used to prise insects from tree bark, and to hammer open acorns wedged into bark crevices. It is also a frequent visitor to garden bird feeders in rural areas, sadly not mine.

OFFLINE for three days, enjoy the weekend, stay safe, God bless...............................Tomx
