Résumé :	Reproduction and parental care in the Algerian Nuthatch Sitta ledanti in the Guerrouche Forest (Jijel, Algeria). Reproduction and parental care in this species were studied in the Guerrouche Forest (Taza National Park, Algeria) in 2017. Breeding was early in that year, laying dates stretched from the last week of March to early May. Clutch size varied between 5 and 6 eggs (mean: 5.8 eggs). Incubation was assessed to last 14.5 days. Hatching success was of 5.4 young, fledging success was of 4.6 young per nest. Females alone excavated nest holes and incubated eggs, males ensured their feeding during incubation. The feeding of young and the cleaning of nestholes were carried out by both partners. After fledging, males ensured the major part of feeding of the fledglings.
