Wow. That’s pretty special.
I often get goldcrests but I’ve never had a firecrest in the garden. Whenever one shows up round in this part of the country the birders get very excited.

Yeah I thought they were gold crests at first, but got the book out, striped eye, white underneath, orange stripe when flat.
I'm down on the south coast, and apparently we get them in this area over winter, and they're increasing.
Wish I'd got my camera out, but I was on a call for work, and webcam off / binos was all I could muster.
@Eejit wish we got more sparrow hawks. I've only ever seen one in the garden.

No photos, but just had two firecrests in the garden. Never seen them before!
