Goldcrest - Regulus regulus

I had my best opportunity ever  to get decent photos of a Goldcrest late this afternoon.  Goldcrest are, along with Firecrest, our smallest breeding bird and its quite hard to get them to stay still long enough to get a photograph but today my luck changed.  I was in the wood behind my caravan hide looking for evidence of nesting Woodpeckers when I heard a Goldcrest singing. I sat on a log beneath the tree with the bird above me and then, after a moment or two it came down to a low bush in front of me, the background was perfect and as you can see, I managed a nice picture before it quickly disappeared again!
