Treecreeper Wren and Nuthatch

[lammie]

Took these today in the woods around Linacres Reservoirs near Chesterfield. All taken with the 300 f4 + 1.4ext hand held. These have been cropped quite a bit as I couldn't get near to them. C & C welcome.

Thanks to all for your comments.

I think it may be a bit early in the year for this bird to be a young one, maybe someone could confirm this.

The tree creeper looked so good on my laptop that I had to boot up the big screen machine to have an even better look.

Fantastic shot....

Lovely captures and so nearly got that Wren's tail up too!

The Nuthatch will be an adult from last year's batch of young at the very least.

Thanks again.

CT, This is another one of the wren, excuse the quality as it was further away than the other, but is this one reaching the tail height you are looking for.

 

[CT]

Oooh.. that's close Lammie.

Dead upright will do me, but they do sometimes actually pass the upright and lean in towards the body.

If you get that shot before me I shall never speak to you again! :nono:

 

[Cuddy]

Fine set nicely captured.

 

[Busby]

Thanks Dean. I only went there because I saw the signpost for Linacres Res as I went past the entrance on my way to Cutthorpe to see the waxwing, but I didn't have any luck with those even though they had been seen there earlier in the day.
Thanks for looking Jason, just spend a bit of time in a wooded area and you should see one, mind you tree creepers can be hard to spot.
