The Corsican Nuthatch is a resident bird of the mountain forests of Corsica, and is closely associated with Corsican Pine preferably with some very old trees aged 300 years or more for nesting.

The Corsican Nuthatch is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

The Corsican Nuthatch, Sitta whiteheadi, is a small passerine bird which is endemic to Corsica, where it is the only nuthatch. The Corsican Nuthatch is a resident bird of the mountain forests of Corsica, and is closely associated with Corsican Pine preferably with some very old trees aged 300 years or more for nesting. It feeds on insects and seeds, especially those of the Corsican Pine, which are stored in food caches. More

Red-breasted Nuthatch, Corsican Nuthatch and Chinese Nuthatch have breeding ranges separated by thousands of kilometres, but are similar in habitat preference, appearance and song. They were formerly considered to be one species, but are now normally split into three and comprise a superspecies along with the Krüper's and Algerian Nuthatch. Unusually for nuthatches, all five species excavate their own nests. The Eurasian, Chestnut-vented, Kashmir and Chestnut-bellied Nuthatches form another superspecies and replace each other geographically across Asia. More

Photo Wanted The Corsican Nuthatch, Sitta whiteheadi, is a small passerine bird which is endemic to Corsica, where it is the only nuthatch. The binomial of this bird commemorates the British collector John Whitehead (1860-1899), who collected the type specimen. More

varies from the Corsican Nuthatch, which is closely linked with Corsican Pine, to the catholic habitat of the Eurasian Nuthatch, which prefers deciduous or mixed woods but breeds in coniferous forests in the north of its extensive range. However, the two species of rock nuthatches are not strongly tied to woodlands: they breed on rocky slopes or cliffs, although both move into wooded areas when not breeding. More

For the purposes of our bird news services, Corsican Nuthatch is classed as ungraded: species which are unlikely to appear as wild birds in Britain or Ireland (Note that rarity levels are currently applied nationally and may not reflect local variations in abundance. More

Corsican nuthatch, an endemic species to Corsica, suggests that adjustments are needed to the present forest management in order to ensure the conservation of this species. The survival of the Corsican nuthatch is dependent on old Pinus lancio forests it’here there are lead and rotten trunks, neededfor nesting. The Corsican nuthatch was recorded in almost 15 P. lancio forests; the average density was 0.85 pairs 10 ha-1 (0-1. More

Corsican Nuthatch and the recently seperated Corsican Finch. The Corsican Nuthatch is confined to conifer stands, exploited for timber, and as such faces a precarious future. The Corsican Finch is more common. The western Mediterranean race of Woodchat Shrike (L.s.badius) occurs on Corsica and is identifiable by the lack of white at the base of the primaries. More

The Corsican Nuthatch is the real target of birders and it is limited to the endemic pine forests above 3,000 ft. Most birders will spend time trying to connect with this species and there is plenty of documentary guidance of where to go and how to do this. The species is probably found whereever there are the pine trees that it is tied to and the range is therefore more widespread than the English literature suggests. More

Methods The reproductive ecology of the endemic Corsican Nuthatch was studied from 1998 to 2003 in the Ascu forest, central Corsica, using an infrared camera for nest controls. Results The annual rate of re-occupation of territories was high and the birds often used the same nesting tree. The dates of clutch completion ranged from 5 April to 16 June. There were no genuine second clutches, but sometimes a replacement clutch was laid. Clutch size varied from four to six eggs (x = 5. More

The Corsican Nuthatch is endemic to the island of Corsica. The very limited range and population size (3,000 breeding pairs) of the species make it highly vulnerable. The intensively management of forests and fires are considered to be the major threats nowadays. More
