The Chinese Nuthatch is a small to medium-sized species, characterized by its bluish-grey upperparts and paler underparts, often with a rufous wash on the flanks. It is a specialized nuthatch, adapted to high-altitude forests. This species is endemic to parts of China.
Where to spot
Endemic to a restricted range in central and northern China, primarily in Sichuan, Gansu, Shaanxi, and Hebei provinces. It inhabits montane coniferous and mixed forests, often at high elevations.
How to spot
Look for its characteristic climbing behavior on tree trunks, branches, or rock faces. Listen for its distinctive, often whistling calls. Its overall blue-grey and pale plumage, combined with its range, helps in identification.
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 and cliffs.

The Chinese Nuthatch is known to sometimes forage on limestone cliffs and rock faces, a less common behavior for most tree-dwelling nuthatches.
