Kashmir Nuthatch

Sitta cashmirensis

The Kashmir nuthatch (Sitta cashmirensis) is a charming avian resident of the Himalayas, adorned with mostly grey upper parts and a striking contrast of reddish underparts. A pale throat and chin add to its delicate appearance. This small bird, measuring a mere 14 cm in length, flits through the montane forests with grace.

Habitat

The Kashmir nuthatch makes its home within the lush embrace of subtropical and tropical humid montane forests. It thrives at elevations ranging from 1,800 to 3,350 meters, where the air is crisp and the foliage dense.

Distribution

This species is a jewel of the northernmost Indian subcontinent, with its range extending across Afghanistan, India, Nepal, and Pakistan. It is a bird of the highlands, intimately tied to the mid-altitudes of the majestic Himalayas.

Conservation status

The Kashmir nuthatch is currently classified as Least Concern by the IUCN. While global population figures remain unquantified, it is described as common in eastern Afghanistan and north-western India, and fairly common in Nepal, suggesting a stable presence in its natural habitat.

My favourite app
As a young birdwatcher who was always keen to be apart of a community but never seemed to find one, my problem was solved downloading this!!! Everyone is so friendly and just as excited to see birds as me 😁

Friendly and helps to identify birds
Great birding app, good for logging your sightings, also has nice species guide. I'm enjoying the social aspect more than I expected, everyone seems friendly and helps to identify unknown birds. Good mix of newbies and experienced users.

Sense of Community
A great app, which is continually being improved. What really comes through is the passion of those behind the app. The sense of community is brilliant, so much help and support provided to new and/or in experienced birders.

Just what birding needs
We need more fun in birding, for years it has had a reputation for being up tight and stuffy and only perused by retirees and anoraks. Birda helps change that perception and firmly brings birding into the 21st century! Fun, interactive while still contributing to science and conservation. If you aren’t on it, why not??
Alice J
Awesome Birding Community
I absolutely love the community aspect of this app. The app is so user friendly and has fun interactive challenges to get you out birding. I’ve tried others but since I’ve started using Birda I’ve not gone back!
