Re: Goldcrest
Another bird I have only seen once, as on another thread about comments if this was my picture (which I would be very pleased with ) there is nothing that I would change or can think of that could improve it

Re: Goldcrest
Thanks guys
he was flitting about in the tree feeding on seeds for quite some time but mostly with a washed out sky in the background intermingled with lots of branches which made focus and exposure very difficult so waiting until he moved to branches with the bushes in the background enabled this shot....and this one

Re: Goldcrest
Second one is def better, the first is very OoF on the head (sorry). Agree that they are unbelievably tricky to capture, I spent well over an hour following one only to totally fail to get it lol.
