Baby Goldcrest

This little bird was in the greenhouse last evening. I took the opportunity for a photograph, although it wouldn't sit still for a minute

It is reputed to be the smallest bird in Britain, even smaller than the Wren
This baby was certainly small

Well, for not sitting still, you certainly captured all sides of him! What a precious one! He'll have stories to share of being shot in the greenhouse as a youngin when raises his own! LOL

Love that orange stripe on his head! If only all small birds had something that stood out to ID them!

Great Shots, Whis4ey!

What a cute little thing! I wonder if that's like one of our kinglets - looks like it might be~!
