馃 The Eurasian nuthatch or wood nuthatch (Sitta europaea)

Sitta sitt膿 (Greek) mentioned by Aristotle and other ancient Greek. by the authors of the bird, something similar to the woodpecker
europaea (lat.) European

I love to watch the activities of these smart guys. They like chipmunks to stock up on food. And it looks like this: the nuthatch finds something edible (and it can be someone else's stocks), he picks up food in his beak as much as possible, then finds a convenient place to hide, but before that he cuts the food clean of scraps and peel.

Also, these guys are very arrogant. Seeing a pandemonium of birds on the feeder, he does not wait for his turn, but like a bowling ball flies into the feeder, pushing the rest of the birds like skittles.
