Mwendamiti

Wendamiti ni ndege wadogo wa jenasi Sitta katika familia Sittidae. Wana kichwa kikubwa kwa kulinganisha, mkia mfupi na domo na miguu zenye nguvu. Takriban spishi zote zina rangi ya kijivu au buluu juu, nyekundu au nyeupe chini na mstari mweusi machoni. Spishi nyingi zinatokea kanda za wastani za nusudunia ya kaskazini, lakini spishi kadhaa zimejirekebisha na maeneo makavu ya joto. Spishi mbili (mwendamiti wa Atlasi na mwendamiti wa Aljeria) zinatokea Afrika ya Kaskazini.

Wendamiti hula wadudu na invertebrata wengine, hata konokono, na mbegu na makokwa pia hasa wakati wa majira ya baridi. Hulitengeneza tago lao katika tundu mtini au mwanya kwenye mwamba. Jike huyataga mayai 4-10.
