The Philippine Nuthatch is a small, active species, characterized by its bluish-grey upperparts, paler underparts, and often a faint supercilium. Like other nuthatches, it skillfully moves up and down tree trunks. It is endemic to the Philippines.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Philippines, found on various islands including Luzon, Mindanao, and Palawan. It inhabits montane forests, particularly in primary and secondary broadleaf forests, from lowlands to high elevations.
How to spot
Look for its characteristic climbing behavior on tree trunks and branches. Listen for its sharp, high-pitched calls. Its overall blue-grey and pale plumage, combined with its Philippine range, helps in identification.
When to spot
Resident throughout its range and observable year-round. It is active throughout the day, but often more visible in the early morning. It frequently joins mixed-species foraging flocks.
