Goldcrests II

Just a quick trial to see if capturing Goldcrests would be easier using flash. The birds have been more amenable lately, visiting the feeders and the bird table. The same problems exist, obscuration by foliage and they are constantly moving. Most birds are not spooked by flash, Robins, Tits and Dunnocks may sometimes move away a few feet but soon return. Goldcrests appear to be totally oblivious of flash, continuing to feed even when multi flash mode is used, on the other hand Wood Pigeons are really disturbed by flash and disappear rapidly. Now there's a thought!




 I prefer not to have photographs of birds on feeders but in this shot that is the point - not a common occurrence.





 










  Perhaps a little more practice required.

Even a Dunnock looks good with flash
