I really had some fun capturing these little acrobats, they are rarely still for a second, they are such confiding little birds - just can't get enough of them! I have done quite a bit of PP in this so I would welcome any feedback.
All comments welcome.

Great stuff Jonathan. Sharp, in focus, a nice clean background and open beak a plus... well done!

Can't see an image, maybe it's gone?

I have removed the image and reattached - looks OK now.

**** Jon,

This is my favorite from your Nuthatch series. The open beak is a bonus. Nice BG. Thank you for sharing.
