A day of gales and rain. The idea was to get some nuthatch shots, but they failed to appear. However, a few LTTs did brave the elements. I'm not too keen on the background but it was still nice to get a few shots whilst holding on to the hide and tripod and trying not to take off.....

Nice comp Dave - light wasn't doing you any favours was it..
BG is a tad distracting (for me) but under the circs nice capture.

Nice capture Dave but on my screen it looks a bit soft.
A nice pose with a good head turn towards the camera. Background and perch are perhaps a bit overpowering for such a dainty species but good job in what sounds like less than ideal conditions.

I love watching these! They just won't sit still, will they? Excellent result given the conditions you describe.
