I have a very friendly little goldcrest who comes to visit me at the window where I sit and work, every day.
He is so friendly that he will quite happily jump onto my hand an let me take close-pictures of him; although he moves so quickly, I need a very fast shutter speed to capture him without motion-blur.
Are goldcrest usually this fiendly?

Just... wow! You are indeed honoured, and that is one beautiful photo. I'll have a look for the youtube films now :)

Amazing how close he/she gets to you. Like others have said they are usually flitting about in the trees & never that close. Super photo & I am very envious. :-)
Best wishes

Wonderful !! So pleased for you.
Just in case you don't know,if this is ''your'' Goldcrest she is a female. The males have an orange crest. I so wish any bird would alight on my hand in my garden.
