Crests

Around 16:30 I was walking towards Sandford hide having just upped the morning count of Pochard by one to 18. Just where the path splits right to Heron's Water I heard a tit flock ahead, not a large flock, but I could hear 3 or more obvious Goldcrest calls, then a thinner note caught my ear, but try as I did I, they stayed in cover and could not get my bins on anything and the flock moved away quickly and just a Chiffchaff called to my left, low in the lake side willow.
I stood straining to hear which direction the crests went, but right then the skies opened up and then my wife called for a rescue lift with my son, so had to leave.
I will check it out again tomorrow and fingers crossed I am right and we have a Firecrest.
