Landguard Goldcrests

We head off to Landguard in the hope of picking out a Yellow-browed Warbler for a tick, as it turns out we never get to see one & none are reported for the day.
On walking around the reserve the place is alive with Goldcrest in nearly every bush we looked in & further up & round the side of where the people lookout over the reserve a group of maybe 30  were ground feeding and had no problem with the small group that had gathered to snap them with cameras clicking away without putting them to flight.
Also we see many many Blackcap, the odd Wheatear up near the beach, Snipe also seen plus Jimmy picks out a single Firecrest.
So no year ticks but a really pleasant morning spent walking around the reserve in the very nice Autumn sunshine, meeting up with a few birders that we know makes it a nice morning & it only goes & gets better with Arsenal putting themselves out to smash Man utd with some great football pity that they forget to do it more often.
Just one of many of the Goldcrest
