Great shot Matt, I really like the composition and the parallel between the beak and the branch.

Gorgeous Matt, think my favourite nuthatch of yours to date. The comp with perch on a slight diagonal adds to the head tilt

Sharp and clean with a colourful perch. Perhaps would prefer to see more of the tail, but a very minor point.
