Topic: Lovely surprise!

What's that, I thought, as a small bird flew up from the pond borders. I grabbed my binoculars and the bird obliged me by returning almost immediately, so I was able to see it full on. It was a goldcrest. It is such a tiny bird, but what an expressive face! A first for me - wonderful!

Lucky you, I've never seen one!  Here's the RSPB webpage on them for anyone who wants to know more about them and what they look like.

We have a lonicera Baggesens Gold & a Goldcrest appears every Winter in it.

They aren't often seen away from thick cover, but they were present in the treetops near Birmingham city centre in the cold weather last winter. They probably needed the extra warmth.
