Usually see a couple of Goldcrest here in the garden each year but I don't think I've had any this year. Cracking shots Mick, well done.

Had a Blackcap female a couple of weeks ago & the male last week & yesterday. No chance of a photo - pair of disruptive courting Woodpidgeon performing regularly. :notfair: Graham
