Media notes
Two birds perched on a trunk. Published in HBW Volume 13 on page 112. Original HBW caption: As might be expected for a species with a fairly large range, the breeding seasonality of the Velvetfronted Nuthatch varies with location. It can start as early in the year as January in south India and finish as late as August in Java. Unlike many tropical passerines, however, it does have a tightly defined breeding season at each locality and does not breed throughout the year. Like almost all congeners, the Velvetfronted Nuthatch places its nest in an existing hole, often one abandoned by a woodpecker (Picidae) or barbet (Capitonidae), rather than excavating one afresh. The chosen hole may be too small, in which case the birds enlarge it to a suitable diameter. IBC scientific name: Sitta frontalis corallipes. Elevation: 1812 m. Date added to IBC: June 21, 2016.
