I was glancing out of the window recently and spotted a small sparrow sized bird that interested me. I had never seen one before - but it had an ora nge stripe and a yellow stripe....
I managed to identify it as a firecrest. Apparently they mainly frequent Europe but sometimes live in the most southern parts of England. The latter is where I am currently situated.
Firecrests are approximately 9cm in length and have a life span of just 2-3 years. They only weigh 6g and they eat bugs and spiders. They are attracted to holly and yew - we have a holly bush in the front yard... so maybe i shall see it again and take some photos!
