Beautiful shot! Their Norwegian vernacular names have the two species in the same categori: "meis", Kjttmeis (Great tit) and Spettmeis (nuthatch). Their Latin names don't have them as close cousins, but this photo kind of legitimates the Norwegian view ;)
 
Thanks very much to all of you for the great response to this Great Tit image!
Great comment, Margaret! :)
That's interesting, Doc! Different from Swedish where Nuthatch is Ntvcka (much like the English name)
