GoldCrest in dim light (forest)

A Goldcrest / Un Roitelet huppé

 

The goldcrest is the smallest bird in Europe (5g). It is even smaller than a Wren (and 2-3 times smaller than a tit).

 

This one was in a forest under trees : I had only one opportunity to take this photo. The light was really poor, and he was moving fastly, that's why I had to use 25k ISO.

 

Photo Handled without stabilisation. I had a lot of difficulty to aim at him as he is so small. I tried to use a monopod but then he flew away ... Bad bad bad ... so bad !
