A Goldcrest in a small pine tree next to the river this afternoon. I had a short break in the middle of the day and went out to check if the Hoopoe was still around from yesterday. It wasn't but as I was watching a female Red Flanked Bluetail in a tiny vegetable garden I noticed this lone Goldcrest just a few feet away.
The smallest bird in the UK is also the smallest bird in Japan......................

Such a pretty little bird! Didn't know it was the smallest bird in UK,and Japan.
ReplyDeleteSurprisingly lots of bird species are the same here.....................
ReplyDeleteVery grey on the head - local race? Great work though - I know how restless and quick they are!
ReplyDeleteHi Stuart yes it's the east Asian race ( japonensis).
DeleteLike the lighting in these shots. The shadows and sunlight really enhance the colours of the bird.
