is this a Goldcrest?

I don't know what it is but all these photos of birds on GOY is helping me overcome my phobia of them - well small ones anyway :o)
Mind you I'm still not keen on being too near real ones. lol

lol glad its helping Hywel

Hywel ~
my budgie Crocus is pleased you are now okay with the little birds.
Phobias are very real ! I can't cope with heights !

Yes, that looks like a goldcrest.
Irish, maybe google RSPB goldcrest and see the pictures ?
Well done on catching this one on camera. :o)

I'm sure it is, Eileen......it looks very small....a bit smaller than a wren? Lovely pic and you are very lucky to photograph it.

thanks guys,
ill google them now TT

Yes Irish it is a goldcrest,smallest british bird..I tried to capture one myself
but wasn't all that successful

i googled RSPB, and we are all correct lol its a Goldcrest

Brilliant. We all get A+ for our work today. :o)

Well caught Eileen ! I wonder if it will bring a mate now that it nows what a wonderful eating place you have :o)

Well caught Eileen. They move so fast dont they? We had a couple in the garden and I managed to get a couple of shots, but they were too blurry

they are unbelievably fast lol

wouldnt that be great Amy

We've got about 4 in the garden, but so incredibly speedy we've not managed to get a picture yet. Well done Irish - this is lovely. By the way, they love niger seed, but I bet you knew that.

Thats a nice little bird to come visit your garden Eileen
