Firecrest in the Croft Gardens at Hartlepool just before dark hence the poor photos. Very mobile but easy to view in the trees now the leaves have dropped.

The Blackcap feeding on the apples today in the garden of the cottage we are staying in. It was here in April when we came and lovely to see it again now. (If it is the same bird that is!) A wet day but the Cresties still made an appearance. #Dulnainbridge #highlands @teesbirds.bsky.social

Feed the birds and they will come. The feeding station was empty when we arrived but it didn't take long before the coal Tits and at least 2 Cresties arrived once the sunflower hearts and peanuts were supplied. @teesbirds.bsky.social
