Firecrest, Autumnal Visitor
Firecrest is a rare visitor to our shores, tiny warblers only slightly larger than our resident Goldcrests they are so active and very difficult to photograph.

Thanks guys, its been a swine to capture anything, autofocus just is not fast enough i needed to be 2 mts closer but that would have been unfair on other observers. I had a severe case of lens envy today.
