The forest was dark, so to compensate for this I shot at a high ISO which made for a noisy photo. I corrected this in Lightroom using noise reduction and the moire filter.
The nuthatch looks half asleep as he makes his way up the branch, almost sleepwalking.

Maybe use spot metering on the bird could have helped??
But I like the background

Thanks. I could have but I was concerned the background would have suffered.

Gosh, look at that sharp back claw! No wonder they can cling to the branches so well.
