Out & about on Sunday, totally unprepared for an encounter with a pair of goldcrests.
Totally rubbish pics but thought I'd share 'em anyway.:lol::lol::oops::oops:

Lens kept focussing on the twigs etc rather than the subject that was pretty fast moving across the bark of a tree & wasn't until I got home that I realised how crap they really were.

Oh well - it's the thought that counts, and not everyday I get to see these little blighters.

It's a cute little bird and I really like the 2nd shot of it hanging upside down! I've never seen this bird and now I know what it looks like.
