Firecrest Surprise

 While carrying out my breeding bird survey at Burnham Beeches I came across a pair of Firecrests.  One of them decided to have an extended preen in view which I managed to video.  This species is no longer a rare bird in this part of the country and other birds have been located in the area.


Photographing the preening bird was not easy with rather poor light.


Firecrest preening.  Another can be heard singing.
