Blue Nuthatch (Sitta azurea)

Location: Highlands of Pahang, Malaysia
All Rights Reserved ©
Distribution: Peninsular Malaysia, Indonesia (Sumatra and Java).
Habitat: Subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest above 900 m (3,000 ft) in altitude.

The blue nuthatch (Sitta azurea) is a bird species in the nuthatch family Sittidae. It is a medium-sized nuthatch, measuring 13.5 cm (5.3 in) in length. The species, which shows slight sexual dimorphism, has dramatic coloration unlike any other member of its genus. Its head is black or blackish-blue dark blue upperparts close to purple with azure feathers. The wings are edged with black. The throat and chest are white or a washed buff color, contrasting with the upperparts and the belly of a very dark blue; the covert feathers are generally clear, blue-gray or purplish.

The blue nuthatch's ecology is poorly known, but it feeds on small invertebrates found on trees; reproduction takes place from April to July. It also forages in mixed-species flocks in larger groups.
