Скачать или смотреть GOLDCREST-SMALLEST UK BIRD in Belfast back garden

The Goldcrest is our smallest UK bird. Much smaller and lighter than a Wren. It is difficult to spot because of small size and green colouring. Also it is constantly flitting from twig to twig never keeping still. This means it is extrememly difficult to capture on photograph or film.
I just did so and am very well pleased.
goldcrsts are green and yellowy in colour. They have a bright flash of yellow running down their forehead towards their beaks. Firecrests their European cousins are even slightly smaller in size with a red flash of colour instead of the yellow of the Goldcrest. Listen out for their distinctive high pitched twittering. It is a dead give away of their presence and proximity. They eat small insects spiders and the like.
