Smile Do Nuthatches use tools

Hello Everybody,

Every few days I'm visited by a Nuthatch.

After attacking the peanut holder it will search all the cracks in

a concrete plinth. After a while it will land on the path and select

a sunflower seed. Holding it in the tip of its beak it will fly back to

the crack and prod and poke with the seed, occasionally peering into

it. Is it trying to crack the seed, store the seed for later or pull out

an insect.

Whatever it is doing it seems to fail on all of them. It then does the

same thing underneath the fence.
