The Yunnan Nuthatch is a small, active species, characterized by its grey cap, white supercilium, and bluish-grey upperparts. Like other nuthatches, it skillfully moves up and down tree trunks. This species is endemic to parts of China.
Where to spot
Endemic to a restricted range in southwestern China, primarily in Yunnan and parts of Sichuan. It inhabits montane coniferous forests, particularly pine and mixed pine-oak woodlands, at mid to high elevations.
How to spot
Look for its characteristic climbing behavior on tree trunks and branches, including smaller twigs. Listen for its distinctive, high-pitched calls. The grey cap and white supercilium are key identification features.
When to spot
Resident year-round in its native habitat. Best observed during the cooler parts of the day, particularly early morning, when it can be seen actively foraging.

The Yunnan Nuthatch is often found foraging on the outer branches and twigs of pine trees, a slightly different foraging niche compared to some other nuthatches that prefer larger tree trunks.
