Beautifully shot, very hard to get one this sharp.

Yes, they are difficult. Normally a whole gang of them tweeting and flitting everywhere. This shot has caught the character of the bird very well.
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

Patience and or luck to have had this one settle long enough to have its portrait taken. Sweet l’il birdie is a memorable image.

Thanks for all the comments, yes this was partly luck but we know this spot out in the country next to a wood where over the last few years people have come with bird food. We pour some onto a bit of fence and as long as they don't see a camera lens and your quiet then some nice shots can be gained. Nice place to sit with a hot drink and watch the dozens of birds and there antics. A few months ago there were at least 3 probably 4 Nuthatch feeding and we have seen in one sitting Willow, Coal, Marsh, Great, Blue and Long Tailed Tits.
