| | | Could it be Firecrest
Hi,
between bin's (10 x 42 - not good in dense evergreens), and camera, could not get a real good look at the head of this bird (my they're fast).
Have seen Goldcrests here but several Firecrests have also been reported.
Is anybody able to ID from the dismal photos here?    |

Sorry, it's a Goldcrest - but a lovely bird all the same!  |

Goldcrest - lovely little things anyway! The white eyestripe on a Firecrest is unmissable (you'll see what I mean once you see one!  ) and makes it look completely different from Goldcrest.

Firecrest may still elude me but what a treat to watch this tiny bird flitting branch to branch as it worked the tree
thanks for responses | | |
