    The equipment I use is a Canon 30D with Sigma 50-500mm lens. I also have a garden hide from which I take most of my pictures.

    Wow Beryl, lucky you getting so close, excellent shots and some of the faces that he is pulling on some of them is superb

    excellent beryl... i've found you can get very close to goldcrests... but the trouble is, they never keep still.. always flitting about. i dont think i could capture one digiscoping, as i do.
