I have an exaggerated interest in nuthatches. 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. My wife and I will be visiting her family in Germany in July and I will have time for a 4-5 day trip to see nuthatches somewhere in Europe. I have narrowed my options to going to Corsica (Corsican Nuthatch) or to Lesvos (Western Rock Nuthatch and Krueper's Nuthatch). I'm a little worried since I'll be going in July that the birds will not be singing/active. Has anyone had experience birding in these locations at that time of year? Is it oppressively hot and lifeless in Lesvos in July? Are the Corsican Nuthatches silent and unobservable?
Which location will I have the best chance of seeing nuthatches at this time of year? Where would you go if you had to see nuthatches? All other birds are secondary to me--nuthatches are absolutely my main target. Yes, it's weird, but I don't fight it.
Thanks for any advice,
