Many curses emitted after a chance missed to get a really good image of this on the silver birch, I had a few seconds and had to quickly raise the ISO to get more speed, maybe next time...

Cheers now

Hi Tim

I would probably have got just a bare trunk - I feel without the eye contact it doesn't quite work. Better luck next time!

ROFL - had one spend two weeks in our trees...did I get a decent shot of it...did I 'eck! Shows the crown colours nicely.

I've also tried and failed with a delightful pair that visited our back garden recently but I'd agree with David with respect to the eye being visible.

Better than anything I've managed. Agree, something to improve on, and perhaps this guy's a bit shy anyway!!

Good to see the golden crown, but a pity with no eye-contact!

Its not the best pose in the world but then: goldgrest is a difficult specie to get images of anyway! Well done.
