Goldcrest? In the sun? The right way up? Sitting still briefly? I hope you bought a lottery ticket

Thanks PB, that's a thought. I took sooo many photo's to get a few to keep.

Lovely little bird. Hard to get a snap Snappy, always flittering about. Great photo.

Thanks Bob. I had a few in the same Yew tree, didn't make it any easier...

Only seen them once with the orange crests up inside the gold. Three of them with the old bridge camera maybe 7 or 8 years ago chasing each other. Probably doing the mating thing to show dominance. A rubbish photo but amazing to see the difference.
