  Nuthatch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The nuthatches are a family, Sittidae, of generally very similar small passerine birds found throughout the Northern hemisphere.
The subfamily Sittinae held the 22 species of “true” nuthatches, and the subfamily Tichodromadinae held a single species, the unique Wallcreeper, Tichodroma muraria, which is now separated in its own family, Tichodromadidae.
Most are resident, but the Red-breasted Nuthatch migrates from the north of its range.

 Algerian War of Independence guerrilla French Nazi Ahmed Ben Bella United Nations Kabylie Air France History of Algeria ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The Algerian War of Independence (1954–62) was a period of guerrilla strikes, maquis fighting, terrorism against civilians on both sides, and riots between the French army and colonists, or the "colons" as they were called, in Algeria and the FLN (Front de Lib?tion Nationale) and other pro-independence Algerians.
Although the French government of the time considered all Algerian violence, including violence against the French military, to be crimes or terrorism, some French people, such as former anti-Nazi guerrilla and lawyer Jacques Verges have compared French resistance to Nazi German occupation to Algerian resistance to French occupation.
According to France, in 1962 there were 236,000 Algerian Muslims fighting for the French army; some estimates suggest that, with their families, they may have numbered at much as 1 million, but 400,000 is more commonly cited.

 BirdForum - Looking for nuthatches in July...Corsica or Lesvos?
I have seen all 4 New World nuthatch species and the Eurasian Nuthatch, so I must now look beyond Germany and the USA to see another species.
They won't be singing, but I'd have thought that fledged family parties would be fairly noisy with young demanding to be fed, though the earlier in July the better, before they start to moult.
Western Rock Nuthatches were found almost anywhere, but were perhaps most obvious in the uplands to the west.

 Sitta tephronota
Apart from its larger size this bird can be told from Western Rock Nuthatch by its much bigger, almost fearsome-looking bill which is markedly upturned and by the way the fl eyestripe gets broader behind the eye.
This last feature can be so striking that when the bird turns its head away it almost looks as if the whole head is fl.
The only problem is separating them from the Western Rock Nuthatches which are in the same areas.

The Berber thuya is one of only two Mediterranean conifer species that can be transformed into coppice woodlands (the Canary pine species (Pinus canariensis), endemic to some Macronesian Atlantic islands is the other).
Berber thuya forests and woodlands are mainly distributed in the dry and mild lowlands and hills of the northern half of the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts of Morocco, the western half of the Algerian coast, and some mountain areas along the north-eastern coast of Tunisia.
Low temperatures and especially frosts in the high hinterland areas confine the Berber thuya forests to the milder lowlands.

 British Ornithologists Union: Conference Report African Birds
There were a considerable number of species which were only known from one or two specimens (such as the Congo Bay Owl Phodilus prigoginei, the Mascarene Shearwater and the Kibale Ground Thrush Zoothera kibalensis).
As recently as 1976 a new species (the Algerian Nuthatch Sitta ledanti) had been discovered on Europe’s doorstep.
There was clearly, therefore, plenty of scope for the discovery of new species by old fashioned "pith helmet and butterfly net" exploration.
