A fantastic closeup of this Firecrest JJ and beautifully captured buddy!

I was about to say it seems to think it's a Nuthatch! A superb shot JJ. It's interesting how a different head pattern gives this bird a wholly different "personality" to that of Goldcrest. The slightly parted mandibles and the eye catchlight make this bird seem vividly alive. Top quality work.

Has he been taking lessons from a Nuthatch JJ LOL!!

That's a fantastic picture you've taken of this (my most wanted) beautiful Firecrest! Many thanks for showing it to us my friend.
 
A wonderful colourful and well detailed capture JJ. A splendid posing shot. Brilliant, well done.
