Show your Bird Portraits

I went to a reserve where I know there are nuthatches to feed them with sunflower seeds in return for some shots. They don't hang around but just appear for a few seconds, grab seeds and fly off. I fed them with sunflower hearts, and one ate some in front of me.

My usual Saturday walk in nearby beach park. All commons but I see first time grounded immature White Tern (siting on Albizia roots). Probably ill bird. The other strange thing are the rings on both legs! I have the very bad feeling it will not survive the night... After that Rudy Turnstone, Safron Finch and Java Sparrow.
