Goldcrest at Montrose Basin

I took many photos of this ever mobile bird and couldn't decide on which to post so I've put in the five best ones. Our smallest breeder, weighing in at around 5-6 grams, ( a fifth of an ounce ) the Goldcrest can lay up to 12 eggs in a clutch (though 6-8 is more normal), representing one and half times her bodyweight.
