This tiny bird vies with the Goldcrest for the title of the UK’s smallest bird. The Firecrest has a brighter green back, a white belly, and a bronze ‘collar.’ It also features a black and white eye stripe. They have a yellow and black stripe on their heads. They move quickly through trees and bushes in search of small insects.

Very cute and if not for that touch of gold, he would blend into the background.

Well, that’s good you had no issues – that storm sounded pretty terrible Andy. We’ve had a lot of gray as well, plus that Polar Vortex, some snow and ice … Mother Nature is paying us back for last year’s mild Winter.
