Goldcrest
Thanks for the comments on my last image.

One taken from a couple of weeks ago at the London Wetland Centre. This Goldcrest was very tame and not bothered about people at all, coming very close collecting insects before taking them back to its nest hidden in the pine trees.

Techs:
Nikon D300s
Nikon 200-400mm f4 VR
Handheld
F5.6
1/250s
ISO 800

Please view large; thanks for looking

Oscar :wavey:
