🦉 The Eurasian nuthatch or wood nuthatch (Sitta europaea)
📚 Sitta sittē (Greek) mentioned by Aristotle and other ancient Greek. by the authors of the bird, something similar to the woodpecker
📚 europaea (lat.) European
These nimble guys are not very afraid of people, they are used to them. And therefore it is not difficult to take photos and observe them. And there is something to look at.
These birds, like chipmunks, stock up on food. In autumn, you can see how the nuthatch jumps on dry fallen leaves and noisily inspects, tossing leaves.
When he finds food, he processes it first. For example, if you treat him with a sunflower seed, he will first pull it out of the peel, breaking it with his beak.
Then he finds a suitable place to hide the food. The most suitable place is cracks or crevices in the bark of a tree. He inserts food and sometimes nailed it to fit better.
Yay! 🤗
