BAZ Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Just sitting in the back yard, first brew in hand, and this tiny bird lands six feet from me in a conifer tree we have, it's a Gold crest, I thought my eyes were playing up, it is tiny. It stayed around for about five minutes, with a bit of luck, it might be scouting out a nest site. Fantastic little thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I'm sure they are our smallest bird, smaller then a wren. I've seen a few, if you ever see one with a red stripe on it's head, thats a Firecrest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 Defo a Goldcrest, if it got any closer it would have been sitting with me. I think you are right about it being the smallest bird, head to tail no longer than my thumb. I didn't get back until late tonight, so no sitting out with a brew. I don't want to be late tomorrow though, yet another Friday has raced round again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
