excellent capture - though I still find it odd to see them in 'B&W'. I only get the nuthatch with a apricot colour chest...

I love the angle this was taken at and the detail even in the feet.

Hi Cecilia

Nice 'looking around the corner' pose from this Nuthatch. He/she appears to be very inquisitive. Well composed with excellent DoF. Good colours too. :-)

Incredible details and great colors.
Excellent composition and POV.
TFS!!!!
