In the shady woodland the colours of this little Nuthatch seem a bit muted but he really is a handsome fellow with his blue-grey and buff plumage.
This shot is the right way up, I haven't tilted or turned the image at all it is as the bird was, sneaking around the trunk of the tree looking for seeds and berries. Of course there were no seeds or berries on the tree but there were plenty to be found on the ground and on a feeding table nearby. But as I was also there armed with my camera this fantastic woodland bird was taking a cautious approach. Given that the banding around his eyes look a bit like a burglars' mask the stealthy approach seems quite appropriate.
