Nuthatch
A somewhat unusual pose for this bird. It was very alert. A Sparrow Hawk was close by this morning. All birds were very alert and not easy to capture.
iso 640 1/50 sec. F7.1 Sigma 120-300 with 1.4 TC. WB set to 5200

Stunningly sharp and full of detail Edwin :toast:

Perhaps a bit tight to the left frame edge :wink:

Excellent cap considering the prescence of a Spar - good one sir :wavey:

Like the different pose a lot - works well for me.

Good to see you making use of your improved ISO's too in the dull conditions.

Brilliant pose and perfect exposure. For me it's a bit too big in the frame but that's a very personal thing. I'd love to have this shot.

Cracking shot Edwin. I know most people go for the Nuthatch heading down the tree trunk, but this is really, very nice. Love the way the background colour matched the breast plumage. :toast: :toast:
