This little nuthatch visited the garden regularly to feed from the feeders.

Nice shot. I love the way the branch cuts across diagonally. It keeps your focus on the bird. They are fun birds to watch. Great focus showing detail. Art

Really nice shot Bev. We've never seen a nuthatch around here although we do get goldfinches and the occasional treecreeper. I am determined to get the finches on film!

Thank you very much everyone, it was a treat to get the opportunity to photograph these pretty little birds, hopefully will get the chance again when we go back later in the year.

WONDERFUL....love that background..there is a beautiful exposure bringing out alot of satiny colors. It is posed in such an artistic way to show the curving lines of the body as well as the markings. Love the exposure, going right up under the tail..well done. One nit, ..I would clone out the whitish area on the branch
