Wonderful photo, never seen one let alone had chance to photo one. You can see where it gets it's name from.

Oh, I am so jealous!! We do see these in a conifer in my back garden, but I've not had an opportunity to photogrpah one yet!! I need a longer lens!

David

BTW are you sure this is a Goldcrest and not a Firecrest?

See them frequently in local parks (and occasionally in the garden), but countless attempts have so far failed to produce any decent images. This is lovely.

Thanks, all, for your kind remarks.
This chap was stalked for about 10 minutes, do you think he would come out in the open....?!
No you don't, David, you already have the 55-300!
(But a 150-500 would be nice, wouldn't it.....?)

Roger.
The more I look, the more there is to see!
