Polemere - Goldcrest up close

A random check of Polemere didn't turn much in the way of wagtails. A male and female Wheatear were the first ones I've seen away from Titterstone Clee. Star of the show however was a bird not normally seen here, a very showy Goldcrest! Considering these were hand held AT 1/100 sec, these will do nicely!


A more appealing turn of the head...




Before bursting into song!


And since these were nearly full frame, distinctly croppable!




We are long overdue a Firecrest in the County! One day...
