Wood Nuthatch

There is an old European Aspen (Populus tremula) at the far end of our plot. It has provided shelter for several different bird families during the years as I have reported in previous posts on the blog. 


This year one of the two "apartments" is once again occupied by a couple of Wood Nuthatch (Sitta europaea). It is an interesting little bird that supposedly is the only one that can go head first down a tree! When I saw them a week ago it they had just started to clean out the nest and I hope they are still there when I get back in a couple of weeks.
