Ruby-crowned Kinglet

[Geoffrey Montagu]

These tiny birds are often found jumping around behind bush branches. With the rare moment they land on a branch in the open, you're in luck. C&C welcome.

Geoffery, you got lucky here!
Lovely bird, nice details and the skinny perch goes well with the bird and bg´s colours. I wonder if applying some NR on BG would improve this image.

One of the hardest birds to shoot. You did a nice job.

[Bill Dix]

Exceedingly tough to catch one of these tiny guys standing still even for an instant. Nice pose and detail. Well done.

Nicely taken, Geffery. These little birds are very similar to the Goldcrests we have in the UK.
