Regulus Regulus

It was a long waited target to make an effort to capture as good as possible the Goldcrest (Χρυσοβασιλίσκος) , the smallest bird of Europe.

I found that opportunity on Mola plateau lying at the north side of Parnitha mountain. The place was full of this tiny bird, so i spend the whole morning trying to capture this restless moving devil.

High ISO rates could not be avoided because of cloudy weather in addition with the shades of the trees.
