Thanks for the comments on my last image. This was taken at the same old place; there is a small group of conifers which has a pair of Goldcrests and Coal Tits which nest there every year. This is one of the Goldcrests.

1/80s with a goldcrest! Crikey did you put superglue on the branch! Seriously I am very impressed with this image of what is a very difficult bird to capture. The lighter OOF branch is a little distracting but if this were mine I would be over the moon!

Nicely captured and a very difficult subject to. I have two of these in the conifers behind my house and watch them often but have never got close to getting a good images.

Very nice Oscar. I've only seen these for a fraction of a second, you've done very well to get such a sharp capture!

Very difficult bird to get any decent images off. You did very well here. Find the right hand side of the picture a bit disturbing.
