Nuthatch in snow
Nuthatch
One from the snow last year. Just a one off shot which I thought showed the difference a "large" perch makes ! Not real sharp and I'm not sure about the background. Can't be choosey though. Big crop too.

Thanks Julian.
I thought about the twig and then forgot ! It's the funny way the branches look in the oof background that I'm not too keen on.
Cheers

Very nice, I agree about the twig but like the branches in the background, for me it says snow covered branched in the sun.

A pleasing enough image John but as you mentioned (regarding the nits), not up to your usual exemplary standards.

A nice image John. a different angle compared to most Nutty shots we see.
The snow covered perch looks great & the bright sky is what you get on days when there is snow on the ground. Nice one

that's a nice one John, the only slight problem I see with the background is that it looks a little bright. But I do like the snow covered trunk.
