Firecrest at Shorncote !

23 Nov - One of those magical and memorable birding moments.....Shorncote always produces something of interest.....on checking the stream side bushes, as well as the usual wintering Chiffchaffs I saw 2 'crests flitting around.....amazingly, the second bird had a great big white eyestripe! I did a duo or take and after a frantic brief search relocated the bird and had good views of a stunning Firecrest at close range.....a tick for me in CWP and it even posed briefly for the camera!
