| | | Goldcrest flaring its crest
First time Id seen this behaviour. Seemingly when a rival enters its territory it momentarily flares it up. It was like a beacon when it did it and really caught my eye. Another day and another day I learnt something new   |

That's a super photo Fudgey!  Very interesting and behaviour I've never seen either!

Nice pics Fudgey.
I got this one last spring but I think its behaviour was triggered more by the photographer being in his territory rather than a rival
