info

When driving from the lookout to the place where egyptian vultures occurred we stopped next to the place where along the road in the rocks fault could be seen. Kerem heard there the sounds he recognized as a rock nuthatch’s voice. A little patience and we managed to take its first photos. Unfortunately, the distance was so great that the images are heavily cropped and they are not as good as those of krüper's nuthatches. However, I put them into the gallery of the new genre – western rock nuthatch. It is slightly bigger than our nuthatch and colored less intensely.
