Goldcrest
canon 10d 300 f4 L IS 1/125@f4 iso 400.Took this through the kitchen window it's the only shot of about 20 which is anything like sharp (quite close so shallow DOF)pose is a bit crap but I'm quite pleased anyway.

Hi Stewart

Like Dave has indicated it's an achievement in itself to get a sharp clear image of one of these little beauties. I'm not surprised you are pleased and a great job on the exposure considering the dark BG!

I'd be pleased too, never had any luck with this species so I'm jealous.
