@[email protected] thanks. Though we get them here, I am yet to photograph the elusive Firecrest. Goldcrests, though not too common are easier to find...

@[email protected] That's how it goes most of the time. This is the 2nd time in 2 years I've actually managed a half decent photo of one, usually I am the same as you. A flashing blue streak of colour in the far off background,

@[email protected] Thanks Jane. I watched this beast catch 3 fish in the space of 5 mins. Pretty efficient bird.
