NUTHATCH // SITTA EUROPAEA (14cm)

RATHER DUMPY and short-tailed woodland bird. The Nuthatch has the habit of descending tree trunks head-downwards in a jerky manner, a trait that, in the region is unique to this species, The chisel-like bill is used to prise insects from tree-bark and ti hammer open acorns wedged into bark crevices. Was good to capture one without any food about, high in a tree.
