These little dudes are hard to get a good shot of... they are like the energizer bunny of the bird kingdom. this one sat just long enough looking over the edge of the railing.

Thanks Callie yes it was really narrow I was pushing the envelope there!! LOL. I think it's a cool shot because you can follow it down the railing and across the back of the railing. I think he was eyeing some seeds on the ground because about a millisecond later he flew down there.

Yes, they are a difficult one to get just the right moment and angle on because of their rapid movements. Nice shot!

You even got a picture that you can see its eyes! Normally they are hidden in that black do-rag.

Those are pretty little birds and yes, very quick and active. Great capture!

Too right. They're quick and rarely stay put for long.

Really nice composition, well done!

Lovely shot Gordon --- this bird's colouration looks a lot like our long-tailed Tit (without the long tail, of course).
