Crested Tit

I visited Aviemore in the Scottish Highlands looking for Crested Tits, I found this little beauty at Loch an Eilein at Rothiemerchus

I have never seen a photo of this bird before, thanks for posting a very nice image. Do you recall the light conditions when you took it? I like what appears to be soft muted lighting.
