I was thinking it would be good to see what shots anyone interested in Goldcrest have had in the past or present. Being that it’s a relatively difficult bird to photograph. Below are my attempts so far this season. I’ve not given up. I’m determined to get some cracking shots before the season is out. So far nothing of great note.
Well done Mr Kes ;-)

These are my attempts at photographing Goldcrests - I've had a few lucky chances, when they didn't seem to notice me!
All three are actually taken at the same place! The first 2 on the same day and then the 3rd a few weeks later, there seem to be a pair hanging out there, so potentially I'll get some more chances!

Well I'm just jealous ... . I have never got anything anywhere near as good as those. The first one is superb. Well done Benji ...
Really great captures Benji!

Thanks. Yes a funny little face
Great shots. Very nice and sharp
More fun with the Goldcrests such a small bird.
All the same bird Mr K? .... first pic Goldcrest, subsequent look like Firecrest!
Firecrest have eyestripe, Wendy, not the ring. Not sure offhand what causes different shades in the crests
Fabulous shots all
Thanks PB
