Dear Val and Malcolm,
Not to cause any grief but that is a Firecrest, this is a Goldcrest. Firecrests have stripey heads, Goldcrests on the other hand have no stripes Well done for the picture though, I only have one that is artistically out of focus or blurred.

Val says we would always go with Nev's superior knowledge on wild life. I checked the firecrest and the bottom picture matches what we saw. So we have a firecrest visiting, so exciting. To me it had the stance of a tiny woodpecker with the longer pecking beak. Malc is out at his bridge dinner but I am sure he will be excited when he gets in.
Thanks Nev.
