Garden Goldcrests

Recently there have been good numbers of Goldcrests in the garden. Although I have had a few attempts at photographing them, the light has never been good enough to get some shots. Today I counted at least eight and this one posed for me for more than the usual split second, in decent light too. I'm still waiting for a Firecrest which I'm sure will turn up soon. My garden has a good record for them, having had three at once several years ago. I briefly saw one at the beginning of this year, so fingers crossed and watch this space.

Here's one of the Firecrests I photographed in my garden ten years ago.
