Sometimes you just have to take whatever space you can find! I shot these Pygmy Nuthatches over the holidays.

I love seeing them climb down trees head first. First time I saw this I was like "wait a second there HEAD FIRST?!" I knew about short-toed treecreepers abilities as very good climbers but European nuthatches are next level.

It's weird isn't it? They're cool though.
