[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Taken on Boxing Day in the New Forest. I like the copper brown of the beach leaf which matches the Nuthatches breast feathers.

NutHatch. ( Sitta europaea ) Length 14cm.
Recognised by rounded, short- tailed appearance and habit of descending tree trunks head downwards, a trait unique in Britain to this species. Has blue grey upperparts, black eyestripe, with white cheeks and a orange buff underparts.Chisel like bill use to prise insects from tree bark and to open acorns and nuts. A woodland species common in wales and southern England. Nest in tree holes often plastering the entrance with mud to reduce the size.

Bonjour Nicholas, photo lumineuse et belle harmonie de teintes, I like the little leaf with the same color that bird burst. Well captured. Happy new year, Didier.

Hello Nicholas,
Natural light. Good composition. Pose generating a tiny catch light in the eye.
Good sharpness.
Beautiful 'boxing' Nuthatch;-)

Happy 2008!

Hi Nicholas!
Wonderful and very sharp capture of one of my favourite bird species (it reminds me years when I was a kid and together with my father we were walking through the forest and watching nature :>)
Note is short but still possesses interesting data.
TFS and all the best in 2008!

Hi Nicholas

What a great shot of this Nuthatch.
You had some great lighting, and you captured it lovely. Great details, and a nice BG.

In Holland we call this bird a Treesticker or something:P Because he can climb up- and downwards on a tree unlike most birds.

Thanks for the notes and sharing.

Having a bird picture I took the other day, not the one I posted but one I plan on posting...you still humble me. You must have been doing this for quite a long time or at best a short time with lots reading and thinking beforehand. Your images all look the same high quality. It would be very hard for me to say anything negative about any of your works...so the bes I can do is to say that this is another one done very well..and.....and....Happy New Year?

Hi Nick,

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!! to YOU and your family.

Hello Nicholas !
This is really a beautiful bird, I have seen one in my garden not long ago, on my feeding spot - it was the first time I saw any and I was impressed by its beauty. You managed to get a wonderful picture, with excellent sharpness, nice natural colors, beautiful composition and POV, and a wonderful pose of the bird. Very well done !
valerie.
