The Eurasian Nuthatch is a distinctive woodland bird recognized by its blue-grey upperparts, stout bill, and unique ability to climb down tree trunks headfirst. It moves with agile, jerky movements.
Where to spot
Widespread across temperate Europe and Asia. It is typically found in mature deciduous or mixed woodlands, parks, and large gardens with old trees.
How to spot
Look for its characteristic climbing behavior on tree trunks. Listen for its loud, whistling calls and varied trills, often heard before the bird is seen.
When to spot
Observable throughout the year. They are particularly active and vocal in autumn as they forage for nuts and seeds, and in spring during the breeding season.

This species is one of the few birds capable of climbing down tree trunks headfirst, thanks to its powerful feet and long hind claw, allowing it to explore crevices for insects that other birds might miss.
