First thing I thought when I opened this was you had turned it round but I'm not so sure. It certainly works either way. If this is the underside of a branch perhaps including a bit more of the adjoining trunk would remove doubt. Nice image. We had one in our garden the other day, the first for quite some time.

Nice, a white house certainly works well as a reflector, touch difficult to move it around though :biggrin:

Classic Nuthatch.

Fabulous John - it works whatever way - but I guess I would think it was the 90 % turn originally - ? :jump: Right or wrong it's great - and I wish they were back in my garden!!

it's quite plausible either way around. There's something about nuthatches which makes them very photogenic. A nice shot.
