My partner and I once saw two firecrests at Baddesley Clinton in Warwickshire… – again in treeceeper territory… – you definitely hear them before you see them! I still haven’t got over how small they are; but so incredibly beautiful. We were so hooked on watching them, we didn’t take a single photograph!
Well I was just pondering where to go today and I think you’ve persuaded me. If they’re anything like goldcrests I won’t be able to catch a photo, so I’ll use your excuse for why!
I forgot what a firecrest was — a relative of our kinglets who looks a lot like our golden-crowned kinglet. They are also fast and sometimes heard more than seen. I think ruby-crowned kinglets are much easier to spot. Anyway, I think Firecrest sounds like a dragon name.
Here it's cloudy weather and lots of sparrows. The white-throated sparrows have returned for the winter, and I love them. They have a very sweet song. The lifer I'm trying to find every winter (and still haven't) is a fox sparrow — not rare, but difficult to find.
Thanks again for going out and being so hardy!

I love the treecreeper pulling out the little grub! What a great photo
Thanks! I love when a closer look at a photo reveals something a little different
Woodpigeons are always exciting. Their tune is one of my most favourite things.
Brilliant shots of the treecreeper!
Wonderful pictures! The treecreeper is one of my favorites, we have one the visitors us regularly.
yeah, the common gull is far less common than its cousins. Just give the name to the black-headed gull, those are in fact everywhere
