not sure that that Goldcrest is a credible sightings Kev -- I can see year listers dashing for it given the species abundance of late

That particular individual has been around for a couple of weeks now around Aylner Ave and there have been two along the cycletrack over the last couple of days.

What is more amazing is that today, I received a report that the female Dartford Warbler was still present on 1st Jan at the NNR boundary!

Cheers
