The Siberian Nuthatch is a distinctive species closely related to the Eurasian Nuthatch, but characterized by its paler plumage, often with a whiter breast and less extensive rufous on the flanks. It is adapted to the harsh conditions of Siberian forests. Like other nuthatches, it climbs trees with agility.
Where to spot
Found across Siberia and parts of northeastern Asia, extending into northern China. It primarily inhabits coniferous forests, especially larch and pine woodlands, and mixed forests.
How to spot
Look for its characteristic climbing behavior on tree trunks and branches. Listen for its distinctive, often loud calls. Pay attention to its overall paler plumage, especially the whiter breast and flanks compared to other Eurasian nuthatches.
When to spot
Resident year-round in its native habitat. Best observed during the non-breeding season when it is often more visible foraging on tree trunks. Early morning is often the most active time.
