Had the day off work and went to Cannock Chase today. Got a few decent shots but I was delighted to get this nuthatch. Could have cropped tighter but I think this composition makes for a better image. Please view large and F11 if you have time.
Many thanks for the C&Cs on the blue tit.

The posture of the bird and the curvature of the perch echoing its shape makes a superb composition Steve.

Great shot with the excellent detail, and I can only echo Brian's remarks re. the curvature of bird and perch.

Sharp feather detail and nice classic nutty pose.
The lovely knarled perch adds to the image - hope you left it up there.
