Nuthatch

The Nuthatches have been very busy in the garden over the last few weeks when a fledgling also has been present. They seem to be getting used to me and are coming close.

One of the better ones today.

Hi Simon

Really like the pose and detail. Such a lovely bird. Colours seem a bit muted. Dull day or is it my monitor ?

Hi Gary,

Don't think it's your monitor, so no need to spend some of your hard earned. It was an overcast day and the perch was also in the shadow of the house. Also, my Dell u2412m isn't calibrated.

I am a little conservative with my PP as I am still learning, but what I must say, when I looked at the three different threads I created last night, I can see where Flickr/TP has downed the quality of the pictures when loading on here.. It's been mentioned a bit on here and for me, it's the first time I have noticed it from my photos.

I just had both webpages open and you can see the difference between here and Flickr.

Hi Simon, have to say I am a PPing incompetent my images invariably are too dark/light/contrasty/dull/unsharp etc...

I am usually miffed at photobucket shots posted here on TP which never look good.

That stated, your is nonetheless a lovely image.
