Hywel ~
my budgie Crocus is pleased you are now okay with the little birds.
Phobias are very real ! I can't cope with heights !
Yes, that looks like a goldcrest.
Irish, maybe google RSPB goldcrest and see the pictures ?
Well done on catching this one on camera. :o)

Well caught Eileen. They move so fast dont they? We had a couple in the garden and I managed to get a couple of shots, but they were too blurry

We've got about 4 in the garden, but so incredibly speedy we've not managed to get a picture yet. Well done Irish - this is lovely. By the way, they love niger seed, but I bet you knew that.

I don't know what it is but all these photos of birds on GOY is helping me overcome my phobia of them - well small ones anyway :o)
Mind you I'm still not keen on being too near real ones. lol
