Nuthatch
The nuthatch (Sitta europaea) is small, compact, and permanently grumpy.
It runs headfirst down tree trunks, shouts its territory into submission, and cracks nuts with the determination of a piece-rate craftsman.
Its home? Bricked up.
Too big? Clay.
Too open? More clay.
The nuthatch doesn’t negotiate, it executes!
