Low light conditions in my little wood/copse but have been able to see two Goldcrests flitting from tree to tree in search of insects, spiders etc. Only managed this one grainy and out of focus image as birds were mostly hidden behind branches and twigs and never sat still for more than a second. 'Slightly better' pictures taken in 2023 are here on this blog Goldcrest
Better news from today however was that walking in search of Goldcrests, I put up a woodcock RSPB Woodcock Information on the boundary ditch next to the wood; it was sadly too fast for me to get a picture but its the first one I can confirm a sighting for at Longbeach farm and flew away showing that classic woodcock outline of wings, beak and ; it has been added to my species list of birds in the left sidebar. That's one new species added to the list in January, so I can't complaint about that.
