An elusive little bird that I've been chasing around for years to no avail. The perch is a beauty and I can't wait to see it with a little Canada snow flakes all around. The nuthatch looks like he is in a bit of a bad mood...nose upturned and all. I hope you didn't say something wrong.:) Thanks Jim.
Hi Jim,
lovely perch (and unusual, at least it would be for our European nuthatch, as they rarely leave the bark of tree etc.) and perfect background - well done!
Regards
Andreas.
I love this species, probably my favorite "resident" species here (one that does not migrate and found year-long). We have a spot locally where they will feed right out of your hand!:cool:
Nice photo, good perch and pose. Excellent comp, I like it as is. Only thing for me is that I think a slight boos in saturation would be good here. Alternatively, you could use the sponge tool (soft brush at about 8% flow) and use it on the orange breast of the nuthatch.
