Another shot of the same Goldcrest, it didn’t stop hopping in the tree until it eventually flew away.
I'm constantly amazed at the accuracy of modern cameras. I saw a shadow of a bird, and not recognising it shot into the trees. The camera found the bird and focused on the eye even as it his behind a thick branch! This is a gold crest - Britain's smallest bird.
Mid-morning Friday I took the #funicular to #Fløyen to go #skiing (as the forecast looked worse for the afternoon). It started snowing as I reached the top, so I limited the trip to a loop around #skomakerdiket. I had to seek shelter from heavy snow underneath a roofed picnic area along with five strangers and a #goldcrest. The weather improved, so skied back down to #Bergen city center. #birdsofmastodon
