You did really well to capture this, they are fidgety little beggars!

These are really superb, unless you have tried to photograph these birds it is difficult to grasp just how hard it is to get a decent image, they are so fast and twitchy.
You've managed not just one, but four great images, the last one is the stand-out for me.

They occasionally turn up in the garden, but I've never managed to get a shot of one. Normally by the time I've reached for the camera, they've dissapeared!

Thankyou, all, for your kind comments.
For every one of these there are many "near misses", rest assured!
