A slightly larger subject than my last upload. One of my favourite birds to photograph.

Canon 40D with 400 f5.6 lens, f6.3, 1/800, ISO 400

Here's a 1000 pixel version.

All C+C welcomed.

Nice one Matt - a classic 'Nutty' pose, though looks just a little dark on my monitor

Hello Matt.

A classic and very nice Nutty shot, and I like the composition.

Looks ok on my monitior.

Classic nuthatch - especially like the complementary colours of the perch too

Nice Nutty and like the background.

Too dark, too light. Its so hard to get it just right.

A favourite of mine too Matt. A fine classic with an excellent background.

Never seen one, but it does look a bit darker than the ones usually posted - still a lovely image.

Looks fine to me Matt colour wise but the head looks a wee bit soft

thanks for the comments folks. The lighting seems to have divided opinions, but I think it's a fairly accurate record of the lighting at the time.
