Red-breasted Nuthatch

This species irregularly shows up in my home region in the winter months. I find them quick to come and go to my set up and tough to catch. I like the slight head turn in this shot - one of my favorite birds.

Sweet image, @Allen_Sparks. Great background and light. I too like the slight headturn and your composition goes well with the pose.

Nice one, Allen. The colours of the background work very well with both the bird and the perch. Cheers, Hans

Excellent image of this species Allen, great head turn, bg and detail.
