Firecrest

From Tessa Pearson -

On a walk in Moreton Lane Saundersfoot I saw what looked like a very small wren.  It seemed quite happy to show itself and landed within four feet of me on a bare branch.  I thought it must be a goldcrest but noticed a very vivid eyestripe through the eye which I then realised was a firecrest.  On checking the books when I got home, sure enough I was right I they are seen through autumn and winter 'in the south of the country'.  What luck!  I am now pinning my hopes on hearing and seeing a green woodpecker that was in the same area late winter last year!
