Nuthatch (male)

This striking artwork captures the lively character of the Eurasian Nuthatch (Sitta europaea), a familiar woodland bird instantly recognised by its bold colouring and distinctive posture. The bird is shown clinging nimbly to the side of a tree trunk, head pointed downward a pose unique among small passerines. Its slate-blue upperparts, warm chestnut flanks, and crisp white face marked with a bold black eye-stripe are rendered in exquisite detail, giving a vivid sense of both texture and life.

In the wild, the Nuthatch inhabits broadleaf woodlands, parklands, and mature gardens across Europe and parts of Asia. Agile and acrobatic, it moves with ease up, down, and even headfirst along tree trunks, prising insects and grubs from bark crevices with its sharp bill. Unlike many small birds, it also hoards food, wedging seeds and nuts into crevices for later use. Its loud, whistling calls often give away its presence long before the bird comes into view.

Produced to the highest standards as a Limited Edition of 150 Giclée prints, each piece is created with archival pigment inks on museum-grade fine art paper, ensuring exceptional colour depth and longevity. Every print is hand-signed and numbered by the artist, with a certificate of authenticity provided, making it a highly collectable addition to any art or nature lover’s collection.

Perfect for bird enthusiasts, woodland art collectors, and lovers of British wildlife, the Nuthatch print is a celebration of both natural history and artistic craftsmanship—bringing the quiet drama of the forest into your home.

Poetic Note

Along the bark it darts with speed,

A whistle bright, a hidden seed.

With colours bold and movements fast,

The Nuthatch’s charm is made to last.
