Nuthatch

(Eurasian Nuthatch - sitta europaea)
In Scotland the Nuthatch used to be a very scarce bird with the only reliable site being at the Hirsel estate in Coldstream close to the English border. However, in recent years the species has expanded its range northwards and is now found at several locations throughout south and central Scotland. The RSPB Ken-Dee reserve is a good spot where birds can often be seen coming to nut feeders.
In 2005 a pair were found nesting in Dalzell Woods in Motherwell - local residents said they had been coming to their bird feeders for several years. There is now a nucleus of breeding birds in Dalzell Woods with four nest sites in 2008. Another pair have been coming to feeders in Pollok Country Park, Glasgow and to a private garden at Gartocharn, Loch Lomond throughout the winter of 2008/09.
