          After seeing a Goldcrest in the garden again this morning, I wasn't expecting this!!
          A Firecrest appeared but too fast to get a decent shot.

            @strongylodon Im also so fortunate to have them visit my garden too, they are very quick as you say so well done for getting any piccy of them :dbgrtmb: - trust me i have tried and my shots are rubbish with a capital R :doh:.........My garden has been a hive of activity today so many varieties of birds feasting on the spent seedheads of perennials, wildflowers, and grasses.
            It's been a pleasure to watch them filling themselves up as we have another cold night ahead bless um:imphrt:
