Lovely shot of a lovely bird. Fairly common up here, but I hadn't got your wonder lens ( yet) to shoot them.

You really wouldn't have believed how fast these things flit about me and Steve were like a pair of spinning tops as the birds went from tree to bush and back again ,not the sort of birds a 500 or 600 lens is made for .but we got them with team work, the smallest British bird they weigh the same as a 20p coin

Indeed, they're "flittier" than a very "flitty" thing, so well done - great image.

Goldcrest was one of first birds I photographed with my Sigma.
Not easy as the little bu****s never seem to stop.

Was really impressed by Sigma after seeing the images.
