As I have said before, I'm not much of a bird photographer, not good at it, and I don't carry the long lenses that you sometimes need.
Still, when a bird gets close enough, I can't resist, and that's how this mediocre shot came to be:
Olympus Stylus 1s, 300mm, ISO1600, f5.6, 1/160s</sup
It's a wood nuthatch (Sitta europaea), boomklevertje in Dutch. It's the only bird (in The Netherlands) that can walk both up and down a tree, making it easy to identify from a distance.
Other tree-walking birds, like treecreepers and woodpeckers, can only walk up and have to fly to get off the tree again, in the sort of situations where cats can only hope somebody calls the fire brigade so save them, because they're stupid.
Another wildly informative post! Also nice, amasing, great, good, and beutiful, I know, so you don't have to tell me in the comments.
