The detail is incredible - every last little whisker shows. Maybe ideally a few less leaves in the background, but it is that time of year.

Lovely John. It would have been nice to have a little more space behind the tail, but realise that this may not have been possible. :toast:

Cute shot, I personally like all the leaves, they don't detract from the bird at all, soooo detailed!

I like it too... great inclusion of the environment, still keeping the bird a reasonable size in the frame...

your usual high standard John. The quality images you're getting of Goldcrests and now Coal Tits suggest you have lightning quick reactions :smile:
