67/365 (08/03)
A Nuthatch’s descent: The Eurasian Nuthatch (Sitta europaea) is the only bird in our region capable of walking down a tree trunk headfirst, and today I finally caught that characteristic pose in action. The 365 project has turned my daily commute and backyard into a constant scouting mission, making me appreciate these "gravity-defying" neighbours even more. I love the contrast between the bird’s sleek, blue-grey back and warm buff underparts against the rugged, mossy texture of the oak bark. Captured in the soft, diffused light of the forest, it’s a simple record of the incredible agility that exists just metres from my door.
This 365 project is about slowing down and paying attention.
Training my eye to see both the obvious and the overlooked.
Finding photographs in everyday moments, not just destinations.
