This bird reminds me Chris the Crafty Cockney, one of funny characters from The Fast Show, old and great BBC comedy show.

"I'm a little bit waayy, a little bit wooah, a little bit woosh, I'm a geezer, I will nick anything" it is his motto and could be motto of Nuthach, too.

These birds are always vigilant, fast moving and looking for opportunity to catch another seed or nut and dissaper between leaves.

Hi Greg. This sounds just like a Nuthatch. They make me think of a higway man with a black stripe over the eye as amask. Anyway you have used the light so well which has given warm colours and fine detail in the feathers. A very good pOV/DOF. well done TFS.

Hello Greg,
A funny title and note to a fine close capture of a European Nuthatch taken from a great frontal POV with excellent sharpness and lighting against a pleasing neutral Bg. In fact I can't fault it: it's a great shot and fine portrait of the species.
Thanks and have a good week,
Ivan

Hello Greg !
Hey, you have exactly the same bird as me ! It's a very beautiful one, indeed, and for me he is even more beautiful as I saw him for the first time after two years of looking for him. This picture is really excellent, I love the warm light, the pose of the bird, the details on the plumage, the blurred BG, the natural colors. Vey well done !
Valérie.

Czesc Grzegorzu,

Fajne ujecie. Nie przypominam sobie tych ptakow z przed lat jak mieszkalem w Poslce ale widac ze odpowienik tutejszego Nuthatch'a radzi sobie calkiem niezle. Super kolory. Pozrawiam.

Hi Greg,

This is an excelent photo with the nuthatch in a vey fine pose. You have chosen a very good POV showing the bird from a very fine perspective. Image quality is very high from being rasor sharp to very nice warm colors. The bird is very well seen on the blurry background.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian

A fine Nuthatch portrait from a low POV Grzegorz, the sharp image reveals its plumage and colouration characteristics perfectly against a neutral BG. TFS this beautiful image my friend.
Cheers,
Mehmet
