Résumé :	The aim is to describe substrates, vegetation structure and layers used by the Corsican nuthatch (Sitta whiteheadi) in its main habitat, the Corsican pine forest (Pinus nigra laricio) and to show differences among breeding and wintering seasons. During breeding, birds foraged mainly in trees, although one quarter of the data concerned fly-catch from a perch. During winter birds foraged mainly in trees. During breeding, birds visited mainly branches, trunks and lichens when foraging in vegetation. During winter, birds foraged mostly on pine cones, trunks and branches. The top was visited marginally, whereas the nuthatches foraged mainly in the following zones : centre of crown, transition trunk-crown, and periphery of the crown. This optimal use of resources in Corsican pine habitat allows the adult Corsican nuthatch to be sedentary.
