Today, to the cemetery again.
Great tits. Blue tits. A robin sings.
Blackbirds. Jays. Wood pigeons. Magpies.
Then, in coniferous trees, a group of coldcrests.
This is a goldcrest video.
In the same tree as a goldcrest, a nuthatch climbs.
A bit later on the same tree, a short-toed treecreeper climbs.
As we walk back, house sparrows in their usual tree in a garden.

Lovely & curious little bird!

Yes, indeed! They are a bit similar to kinglets in North America.
They are the smallest birds in Europe. They move fast behind branches, so they are often difficult to spot.

They are the devil to photograph, aren’t they? They will keep flickering around! We had 2 around for a few days before Xmas. Proportion of average v bad pics: 4 / too many

Birds in general are not so easy to photograph; but goldcrests especially so.
Besides being small and agile, they are also often in coniferous trees where it is easy to hide.
