A lovely image with great detail

I like using f8 for small birds too Karen.
Well done.

Unusual perch and positioning for a Nutty - but it works well.
Nice one.

A most unusual perch for a Nutty. Well caught.

The background is just superb as well.

Cheers

Even from the thumbnail you just knew this was going to be nice,Beautifull colour and detail.I like the perch too gives the nuthatch a different look.

Unusual for a nuthatch, as others have pointed out, but still a fabulous shot.

Super shot and very different

I'm a little unsure on the aspect ratio though - have you cropped some off the bottom?

Absolutely gorgeous! I've never seen one, so the perch doesn't look unusual to me - it's stunning in fact!
