Bet you were well pleased with this one, John. The scene is very pleasing, with some very complimentary colours throughout the shot. Great to see that gorgeous golden crest too. A top shot!!

Hello John.

Lovely capture and a super little bird to get as well.

Been trying to get this little fellow for some time now, just to fast for me

Not an easy species to photograph, but you have done well here.

How strange you should post this on the very day I get my first sighting of these in my garden! Didn't get a shot though. Lovely shot!

I would settle for a bad goldcrest shot, this is brilliant.
