Sometimes you just have to take whatever space you can find! I shot these Pygmy Nuthatches over the holidays.

    They are my second favorite songbird, tied with the similarly behaved Carolina Wren. I have the White Breasted Nuthatches where I am, not these guys though.

    They’re like little cartoon characters, just walking up and down walls and across the ceiling without ever giving it a second thought. I don’t know how anyone would not be amused by these little birds.

    I’m glad they gave you a chuckle.

      We only have Eurasian nuthatches here, fun fact I learned recently, they’re the only British bird who can climb down a tree, every other bird has to fly to the bottom and climb up, that’s wild to me.

        I love seeing them climb down trees head first. First time I saw this I was like “wait a second there HEAD FIRST?!” I knew about short-toed treecreepers abilities as very good climbers but European nuthatches are next level.
