19 Friday 2024
Final Friday we watched a Eurasian nuthatch (Sitta europaea) vigorously take away a ornament from his superbly furnished nestbox in South Wales. Apparently the Tenant Didn’t Just like the Decorations (blue field).
Since then the pair has been reworking the residence to their liking. They’ve added loads of leaves and are actually making use of plaster (mud!) to the inside. Are they masking the decorations they don’t like? Or simply filling within the gaps?
The nuthatches now have their very own Reside Stream at Gwyllt Hole – Sitting Room Nuthatches. Comply with WildlifeKate @katemacrae on X for updates.
