Velvet-fronted Nuthatches are not difficult in HK now, they are very well established and I've seen them even in quite urban areas, so hopefully you can add this one onto your collection soon!Matthew Kwanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02602780996282011647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434194133036526142.post-74016432698553599852017-01-05T21:24:49.161+08:002017-01-05T21:24:49.161+08:00What a stunning collection, Matt.

I am really partial to nuthatches and that Velvet-fronted Nuthatch would be a delightful lifer for me. I have seen twelve of the world's nuthatches and I think that if I were younger I would try to see all of the world's species. Now whether I would want to venture into Algeria for the Algerian Nuthatch is another matter entirely!<br /><br />David M.
