A sitting atop the feeder pole makes himself look bigger, expanding his wings and swaying back and forth to scare the much larger red-bellied off the suet feeder.

The nuthatch did this several times, but I only caught the last couple of seconds. It's right at the beginning of the video.

A nuthatch sits on top of a black iron bird feeder pole. There are feeder cages on both arms of the pole. In the center is a suet feeder being enjoyed by a red-bellied woodpecker. The nuthatch spreads his wings, leans forward, and sways back and forth to scare the larger woodpecker off the suet. The nuthatch then climbs down to the suet.

Bird feeder update. The robin has returned, but hasn't forgiven me enough to hang around for a photo.

The nuthatch paused briefly for me though, which was nice.

White-breasted nuthatch flitting around, eats heartily, perhaps somehow anticipating the imminent deluge.

The White-Breasted Nuthatch is one of my favorite songbirds to spot! Known for their distinctive calls and ability to descend down a tree trunk and hang upside down to eat on seeds and insects.

The term nuthatch refers to their ability to crack open seeds with that sharp bill. Did you know a flock of nuthatches is called a jar? https://fineartamerica.com/featured/white-breasted-nuthatch-karen-cook.html

The hierarchy of #birds:

  1. Eurasian #nuthatch is the boss. When he/she eats, great tits wait in line.
  2. Great tits are sloppy and picky eaters. Seeds fly all around. They prefer sunflower seeds.
  3. Marsh and blue tits are bit more shy, but eat together with the family (great #tits).
  4. #Robin is very shy, eats alone.
  5. #Finch is rare, also solitary.
  6. There are also bottom feeders (#sparrows and #doves) which eat what falls on the ground.

    And there's a #dog. He eats birdshit.

Seit langem mal wieder den richtig schön erwischt! 🥰

Im Moment ist ordentlich was los im Garten, da könnte durchaus noch das ein oder andere Vogelbild folgen… 🙄

A white breasted nuthatch with a seed in its mouth.

White-breasted Nuthatches are active, agile little birds with an appetite for insects and large, meaty seeds.

Look for White-breasted Nuthatches along the main branches of large deciduous trees. They’ll likely be moving quickly at odd angles to the vertical.
