Through a Taplow window
Hearing high, sibilant sounds outside Greger's office I peered into the gloomy depths of the big holly and saw this busy goldcrest.
The picture (uncropped for once) fails to convey just how small and fragile this bird appeared; it really did look unbelievably tiny.
Nuthatches were also vocal in or around the garden, while there seemed to be a sudden fall of blackbirds on the estate. Two days ago there were at least five Red Admiral Butterflies on the ivy - but I think the Hornets are finished.
