Scotland - Cresties for the record

I was leading a walk from the hotel today and having done a brief recce of the Loch Mallachi loop yesterday, hopes weren't high for locating a Crestie or two?

Unbelievably however, first bird of the day, just 100m into the walk, a Crested Tit! I wasn't carrying the big lens either - bit annoying as it showed really well!

Bird of the day then, despite the lacklustre images but in situations like this, keeping my small group happy (and they were!) is the prime concern :-)
