Mission: Impossible

Nuthatch (Sitta europaea).
They are rarely seen in my garden, this was the only year I had two of them at the bird feeder. They have great flying skills and can run a tree downwards. The black stripe in their faces make them look like bandits somehow ;)
I picked the title because the bird was hanging headfirst to grab something (a sunflower seed) - like Ethan Hunt :D

He's fascinating - and it's such a good catch of him.

Wonderfully sharp and beautifully composed. That background really brings out the beauty of the little bird

@momamo @aecasey Many thanks! It's not really sharp, but after resizing the image, it is not so apparent anymore ;) Thanks for your feedback, it is much appreciated. Have a wonderful weekend!

@ninaganci Thank you, dear Nina. They were only two days in my garden, I was lucky not to miss their short visits

What a beautiful bird!
