Hi folks ... a real first timer for me to get it captured
I found a location where at least two of them are quite accessible , but still difficult to capture with their constant movement . At least when they are in close range .
I have tried there three or for times to get them , but only for a very short time I could get some " decent " shots .
Hope you like my slightly " artsy " approach with the tones and design .... not entirely happy with the comp , but I did not want to crop in further because of pixel bashing . So I kept it horizontal and tried to play with FG and BG . Made both darker to get the eyes to the subject .

Thanks for watching and commenting to my last postings
Very nice indeed, colours and details in the subject look good. The tree bark is perhaps a little too softened, I would have perhaps limited the background mask a little. The overall image presentation looks good and realistic.
Nice one Andreas. These wee guys are so fast, getting a good HA is difficult, but you managed it here. Good colours on the bird. It's a pity you couldn't get closer as vertical would be the way to go. Nice image, and natural looking.
Thanks Will and Jon , for your kind comments .
Jon ... I would agree about the bark softness .
Will .... oh yes a vertical would have been preferred here
