These fast-moving little birds resemble (but are not related to) the nuthatches in the northern hemisphere.
They climb like acrobats up and around branches in perpetual motion, gleaning insects.

Just a bit better head angle would have put this over the top...but what a fantastic image. The vertical comp works quite well despite the horizontal posture of the subject. Neat perch and beautiful BG.
lovely pose & details on this. Comp, BG & perch are superb.
Good one Greg, different colour variant to those around Central Coast NSW
Superlative!!
Hi Greg, never seen this species before, and Im fascinated with the curved beak. Good DOF on the little fellow, and posed against a sweet BG.
Excellent, very cool looking bird, I love it.
What an interesting looking bird. I like the pose, IQ, exposure and clean BG. Well done Greg!
Fabulous image of this bird, it really does look like a nuthatch. Great exposure, sharpness, BG.
