| |  Wren - or not?
I heard a bird moving through a bush near a still lake last year and with patience this bird eventually showed itself - is it a wren or not?  |

Yep, definitely an elusive Goldcrest. Just about impossible to get a decent shot of one, at least that's what I've found!  |

Hi Guys
On Saturday my wife called me, " I think the Wrens back in the apple tree, next door " I got my bins and just saw the top of its head for a split second .
"Goldcrest" 
I checked my records on BTO garden bird watch and found that it was arround the same time last year, by about a week, that I saw one in the Yew tree with a couple of Blue Tits, they are delightful little birds , I only wish they would come more often, The Goldcrests I mean.

I've seen them named in older bird books as 'Gold Crested Wrens'... so you were nearly there! |
