Very nice indeed and some super detail in the nutty. Think I would be tempted to crop a tad from the bottom to lose some of the tree, but that is only minor.. like it!

Lovely image, I like the detail in the feathers and the eye contact is brilliant.

Hello John.

Lovely Nuthatch image and I like composition.

Could be my monitor but I think I might just lighten it a Little.

It works for me. A classic pose but boy are they fast. Well captured John.

Many thanks for the comments. I find a splash of flash in dull light can often lift colours.
