Tough nuthatches

I have said it before on this blogg but I like repeating myself: Nuthatches are among the very few overwintering birds that are entirely devoted to their local patch. Once they have established a territory they stay. For good.

Inspired by this, I took a walk in our own local patch the day before yesterday and guess whom I met?



The nuthatch was among our 51 species in the birdrace as well, of course. Anders captured this one at the bird feeder next to Råstasjön North of Stockholm:
