I’m cheating today – and putting on a series of photos of a Goldcrest bathing in our little pond just outside my study window. I was so lucky to see it, and that the photos came out so well even though taken through double-glazing. The Goldcrest, along with the almost identical Firecrest, is the smallest bird in Europe, weighing only 5-6gm, the same weight as a British 50p coin.
