Some nice shot there Roger.
The Goldcrest's yellow head stripe looks very orange, when I first saw it I thought it was a Firecrest

Goldcrest for me as well. Do you think the tail is too long for a Dunnock?

That doesn't detract from these nice shots though. The Goldcrest is excellent, very nice focusing through that maze !

This was my only view of the bird...
I think what threw me was the way it was perched right at the top of the (small) tree, in a very upright position.
Not as a dunnock is usually seen, doing its mouse-impression sneaking around at the base of a hedge!
