Nuthatch nest building - Chatsworth

Came across this Nuthatch using dead leaves to line the nest void at Chatsworth this morning. The hole in the tree has been much larger and the Nuthatch have filled it with mud to get the preferred entrance size. This behaviour is only found in one other bird family the unrelated hornbills of tropical Africa and Asia.
