That guy must have taken dancing lessons with the Nuthatch, he is so blended you don't even know he's there. Incredible colors and focus.

Oh my goodness.... it took me ages scrolling up and down, but found him in the end... actually it was his eye I saw first LOL

What a test for us Jp - many thanks for showing us this wee beauty my friend. A wonderful picture.
 
You did well to spot him, JP! He certainly is well camouflaged.
