What an appealing image, its looking out of the frame with a less than ideal head angle... but, I think this is a superb image..... absolutely super..

Great little birds these and I really like the BG on this one Maggie, the mottled effect is very nice, a little more head turn would have been nice, but hey, it's still a cracking shot.

Its a very nice image Maggie. Its almost as though you are looking over the birds shoulder giving a totally different feel to the normal Nuthatch shot.

A great angle for the Nuthatch and the colouring in the background is superb. Love it.

Like the composition here Maggie, a slightly different angle to the norm that works well.
