This little gem, like the Nuthatch prefered a dirty little puddle off from the main pool. Its small size is really shown by the oak leaf on the right. Taken under extremely dark conditions.

An unusual shot of one of my favourite birds. Very nice indeed.

Great behaviour shot - good detail as well considering the conditions and high iso.

Hi John,

Good shot considering what you were faced with. The scale really does stand out. I do find the twig bottom left a bit distracting though.

Nice work

Regards

Rob
