a new perspective

Not the nuthatch I was hoping for at the time but an interesting piece of behaviour all the same. This bird was posturing at another encroaching on the food that it had found in the crevices of the bark. I did get the nuthatch I was after when I set this shot up, but this one was more dynamic. Of course I missed the shot with two of them in opposing corners, but it did mean I was ready for this one when it came along.
Nice to bump into you again Andy, I hope you both had a good day and I shall brush up my totally inadequate deer identification skills. Not that I care much one way or the other, what they are if they give me a nice picture.
A happy christmas and a prosperous new year to everybody on here. I look forward to all the interesting images that I know you will all be posting this coming year.
