Goldcrest
Taken under tree, rather poor light so kept hoping it would fly up from the ground but no such luck. Very little crop as it remained very close to where I was with my camera.

Superb! Lucky he stood still for a millisecond. Very sharp and lovely pose.

Superb Kim, as Ian says these aren't keen on staying still for very long. The background colours are a great contrast too :smile:

Nice shot; been trying to get one of these all week in Norfolk but have failed. Nice to see you have been successful. :smile: I did see some though which was nice :smile:

Its for situations like this that I use a zoom, a tad tight on the right but otherwise fine for net posting. Great detail, exposure etc.. Nice one.

Next time a goldcrest puts in an uananounced appearance make sure you change to a zoom lens. ! You should have enough time .
Cheers
