Nest building....

ISO800, 1/320 @ f8, no comp.
C1 v4 + resize + sharpen CS3.

Hi,

Treecreeper returning with nest material.... returned today to the local Treecreeper site, the nest is being built next to a footpath through woodland in a nearby nature reserve, this bird is completely unfazed by the attention and fame it is receiving and has had up to twenty people watching....

I visit as early as possible, before the crowds, had to cart down an orange box to stand on as I am not a tall person but needed a bit of extra height to get the cleaner bg....

All the best

Hi Phil

That is lovely - nice getting him/her almost clear of the trunk and the nest material is a bonus!
