OK Robinson, I managed a single succesful image of a nuthatch from about 15 opportunities this weekend and I was well pleased considering the light etc. I guess I'll just bin it now.
Absolute cracker John.

This is so 3D, looks as if he is popping out of the picture. Great shot again.

Thanks all.
I forgot to mention this is slightly different from my norm as the bir was nearer to the house, it was a bright day so I was able to use a good f number and lowish ISO. The lens was only on about 200 mm too.
Thanks for your comments
Cheers

The arrangement of berries make this image IMO. It puts it apart from the classic Nuthatch image.
If I was to nit pick I would say its just a pity that the branch has its end chopped but most individuals would not even notice. This would make a great card seller.

The eye contact gives the bird stacks of character, bonus catchlight too.
Very difficult image to fault.
