A Female Chestnut Bellied Nuthatch in action
A common nuthatch found in the Himalayan belt and are not difficult to sight. The birds are busy bodies and always sighted scurrying along with the tree trunk or branches picking up insects on the tree. Few times we sighted them catching some caterpillars and it was quite an interesting scene - the birds shook the caterpillar vigorously killing them before flying away.
This one is a female as noted by the pale chestnut color whereas the male sports a much brighter chestnut colored belly.
Thanks in advance for your views, faves and feedback.
