Nutty

by Cliff-P

Hunger seems to be getting the better of the birds lately and they are becoming quite brave, this gives me a chance to get close enough for a decent shot while they come down a pick up a morsel from the old tree stump used as a feeding table.

Tamron 70-300 with roughly a 50% crop.

Very nicely done Cliff, as well as the pin sharp bird I like the warm toned background which compliments the nuthatch colurs

Excellent shot as they are normally so very shy, the log is a perfect setting. I've only seen a couple all my life so I may have to wait a while before I get a shot like this.
Well done Regards David
