🦉 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
Like tits, these guys are also the most numerous birds in the forests. And with the advent of cold weather, already in late autumn they can be heard and seen in the courtyards of the city. But of course in the yards they are not found as often as great tits. Most often they can be seen in city parks near the feeders.
This bird, like a chipmunk, loves to stockpile food. They cut the seed, peeling it, and hide it in various holes and crevices in the tree bark.
Later, when he gets hungry, he remembers his supplies and visits the places where he stashed food.
Unless, of course, other birds were ahead of him, who also inspect the trees for food.
Clever little bird storing food for the months when scarce, lovely distinct markings and excellent photography once again.
Thanks so much!
Always enjoy seeing the awesome birds you capture along with description.
Неужели поползни помнят все свои похоронки. Удивительно.
Всё-таки наверное не все свои заначки помнят, а только недавние.
