Posted just for a bit of fun. Who knew that Nuthatches were prone to sleepwalking, especially during daylight?
D4, 500 mm lens +TC 1.4, 1/2000, f/9, Auto ISO at 800 and -2/3EC. Uncropped. Richard

Like it. Apic of a bird doing something which when frozen with modern gear looks funny. We would never have seen this in the old days.
Good one.
Cheers

Very nice clean image Rchard. I love the soft light, the mid stride and the fact it's a Nunthatcg shot which is right side up....so many times with these guys I have to rotate to get a good look! :biggrin: Nice work

Very nice capture in sweet light, and a nice color palette. Don't often see these guys horizontal like this.
