Nuthatch again
I have been fortunate enough to have had this lovely little bird visit my garden all week, so I was able to get a few photographs.

Unfortunately he hasnt been to see me today :frown:

But I do hope he will be back as it was great watching him zoom in and scatter all of the blue tits and great tits out of his way,

A lovely little character

Lovely image Jaqui - a bird that follows me around in woodland all the time, but disappears to nothing everytime I turn the camera in his vaguest direction.

I'm consummed with envy - well done :toast: :toast:

Excellent-might be tempted to clone the bits of food and the small twig? on the bottom but lovely all the same :toast:

They really are a gorgeous little bird.
As Dave suggests, cloning out the little twig at the bottom would only improve an already excellent image.

Lovely shot Jacqui, perfect BG - ditto Dave Courtenay's thoughts on the cloning.

Thank you all for your comments,
I agree about trying to the bits of food and the little twig......... but at the moment I'm not very good at cloning :frown:

Hi Jacqui

Lovely image - great colours and BG. My only wish would have been a little more DOF but that is a minor thing!

A very attractive shot taken in nice light. Much prefer the re-post without the food. :toast:
