This Firecrest has been spotted by a few birders in St Mary’s Well Bay since late October but, twice previously, I’d failed to spot it when I’d walked back to Penarth from Sully. As that’s one of my favourite local walks, I went that way again today … and, this time, success! I only managed this one blurry photo before the tiny bird headed up in to the treetops in the company of two equally tiny Goldcrests and I lost sight of it. I will keep trying for more sightings though, whenever I walk this way again.

In previous years there have been Firecrest sightings in the castle Grounds.

I presume you mean Cardiff castle, Dave? I’ve not seen one there but there was one on the banks of the Taff near Sofia Gardens last year.

In my opinion, you have been blessed! I was thrilled when the Goldfinches started to honour me with their presence – I should probably faint if I saw either of the Crests!
