Firecrest

[mex]

A few hours skive from work and a firecrest near Cardiff city centre was too much to leave. Strong gusty winds and cyclists clipping my ankles were soon forgotten when it showed for 5 minutes.

Gorgeous little bird and you got some lovely shots of it!! I've had the opportunity of a few of the more common goldcrest but never been able to get well executed shots.

very nice capture.
I see these occasionally when we are in the Scottish borders but have yet to see one in England.
lovely bird with a lot of character.
are you sure it is a fire crest and not a gold crest?
I struggle to tell them apart until the crest is displayed!
a nice capture whatever the ~ID
