A second to Late . . . (Regulus calendula)

so I missed his crest full up. Saw him with a lot of red on top of his head, raised the camera, sited in, and down it went. Lighting isn't the best. Oh well, it was still a life bird for me.

Nice work Lisa....at least you got it....our similar birds are a nightmare to see let a lone photograph.

As Adrian has said, it's a difficult bird to photograph. Looks like a lot of my goldcrest shots, but you can just about see the tip of the crest. Very sharp and nice warm lighting.

The lighting may be dim but that in itself adds a certain quality to this photo. Your focus was spot on allowing for great detail. I still see red! Great job!
