Eurasian Nuthatch (Sitta europaea), a compact bird with blue-grey upperparts, warm buff-orange flanks, and a bold black eye stripe, perched head-downward on the jagged top of a weathered dead tree stump. The bird faces downward with its pointed bill directed toward the bark, in its characteristic downward-climbing posture. Fine rain streaks are visible across the frame. The background is a soft olive-grey bokeh. Photo by Geert Klein Breteler.
Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #GreyDay any bird photographed in rain.
The Eurasian #Nuthatch (Boomklever) does not wait for better weather.
