Hi Guys,

Last week i went on a little photography trip to a nature reserve together with my cousin and afterwards we visited Edwin Kats his place near the forest and spent some time at one of the hides over there. This Nuthatch was one of a couple that kept coming back to the perches we set out there.

Greetings,

Jeroen Stel

Very good composition and nice colours. Is it me or do they look slightly different than the nuthatches we see in the UK?

Good traditional pose and with a very nice BG. Good job, Jeroen!

Typical nuthatch pose with a great BG. A slightly scruffy rear end but apart from that very nice.
