Yes need a twitchy shutter finger and good light for sure, I've taken hundreds of failed shots with these, just got be persistent. These are curious birds and they will come very close, sometimes to close to get focus. watched this particular small family for 5-6 years and they are ok with my presence. Counted 8 this morning all in breeding plumage.

Agree with all this - in my limited time watching some they DO come too close sometimes...murder to try and follow them.

Brill shot...what a fantastic crest.

I like this
They do seem so preoccupied in their search for food that can get quite close, but are just too damn quick.
