As always, I wish I had a better camera on my phone to do the bird life justice... we spotted many robins, blackbirds, parakeets, pigeons, great tits, wrens, as well as a fabulous goldcrest.

#TinyJoys a conifer in our garden was home to goldcrests and I was really unhappy when it came down. I hoped they'd move to nearby yew trees. This morning the Merlin app picked up their song.

I hear Goldcrests in the park fairly frequently, but hadn't been able to get a decent shot of one, until last weekend.
For today’s #BirdOfTheDay alternative theme of #birdinabush, any bird in a bush.

@jezcox.bsky.social an Echidna is pronounced Ekidna. Echidnas and platypus are the only mammals to lay eggs!!
Also... a Wren is not the smallest bird in the UK or Europe. That title goes to the Goldcrest AND Firecrest! (Weighs the same as a 20p coin)

I took this of a goldcrest a while ago. It’s a blurry photo (thanks, iPhone) but I really like it.

I was going to keep dry by sitting in a hide at #BrandonMarsh today but got distracted,and it wasn't as wet as the forecast suggested. Very poor light and it was difficult to get birds in focus but here's 3 of them. #Birdwatching

We once had a goldcrest visit a shrub in a pot next to our patio door in a very cold winter, stuck around for a while, you've never seen two adults giddier with excitement. Well, except when there's a sparrowhawk in the garden, then it's like kids on Christmas morning levels.
Can't wait for tonight.
