Bore Da i Bawb, Good Morning All. My tiny Goldcrest (Dryw Eurben) is still visiting. Really hard to keep it in the viewfinder, never stops moving. 🪶 #birdingwales #ukbirding

I have no idea what this Goldcrest (Dryw Eurben) is finding to eat on my bare Hawthorn Tree but, I'm so glad it's sticking around. 🪶 #birdingwales #ukbirding

This I believe is a male Goldcrest, Dryw Eurben. You can see the bright orange in the middle of the yellow crest, unfortunately I couldn't get a picture when it was raised. Taken this afternoon this time in the Hawthorn tree.🪶 #birdingwales #ukbirding #BirdsSeenIn2025

Noswaith Dda, Good Evening. My standout garden birds so far this year: 1. Siskin (Pila Gwyrdd). Missing for over a year. 2. Bullfinch (Coch y Berllan). Several years since seeing one. 3. Goldcrest (Dryw Eurben). A very welcome newbie. 🪶 #birdingwales #ukbirding What's your standout birds so far?

Bore Da, Good Morning. Wasn't expecting to see this Dryw Eurben, Goldcrest, right outside my kitchen window this morning. 🪶 #birdingwales #ukbirding #BirdsSeenIn2025

Along with the Firecrest, the Goldcrest is the UK's smallest bird. They're dull greyish-green with a pale belly and a black and yellow stripe on their heads, which has an orange centre in males. Their thin beak is ideally suited for picking insects out from between pine needles. This one was hunting under the leaves of a Camelia looking for insects or spiders.
