GAMBIA FEB 2019
================
TINY streaky cisticola, found in rank vegetation in more open habitats throughout the Gambia. The voice, a short buzzy song, like Zitting, hence the name,always gives the I.D and position away, they travel in small groups calling to each other. One of so many of the small birds in the region, and something about this image, kept drawing me back!
======================
THANK YOU for your support and kind comments it is always appreciated. Am getting out again with local birding, but still am finding it very quite in S.E Kent, so will keep showing Gambia images, unless you have had enough. Enjoy your day, stay safe, God bless and keep you..................................Tomx.
TINY BIRD constantly active in search of small invertebrates. rare to find, found in areas of mature woodland, with territories often centred on large and mature conifer trees, associated with southern coastal woodland during the winter.

U.Ks SMALLEST BIRD, unfortunately the the colourful crown stripe, is only just showing, you do not get second chances with these live wires! always no the move. uttering a thin high-pitched tsee-tsee-tsee. Favors conifers, but can be found in deciduous woodland, especially during the winter months. Difficult to locate, widespread, and resident all year. Was seen and captured at the elder wood, Stodmarsh, Kent UK.

Goldcrest holds the record for being the smallest British bird. From bill tip to tail they are about 9cm and weigh in at 4.5 to 7g. They breed throughout Britain but we also get a big influx from Scandinavia in the autumn. Being so small gives them a problem keeping warm (too much surface area relative to their size) and the Scandinavian winter would be too cold for them. People used to think that a bird this small could not possibly fly across the North Sea, and some people claimed they had seen them hitching a ride on the backs of Woodcocks. An old folk name for them is Woodcock Pilot. Early names were Golden-crested or Golden-crowned Wren and as recently as 1843 William Yarrell called it the Little Golden-crested Regulus or Kinglet. I always think of Kinglet as an American term as that is what they call this family, but it originated in Britain. This was such a long-winded name that people tended to shorten it to Goldcrest, and that name was adopted by the BOU in 1883. There are about six species in the genus Regulus (depending on your view of taxonomy) and Goldcrest was the first to be named scientifically so has the name Regulus regulus. When both the genus and the specific name are the same it is known as a tautonym. The word tautology has a similar root and meaning where something is unnecessarily repeated using different words (eg always and forever). Another interesting feature about birds in this family is that they have a single feather that covers each nostril acting as a kind of breathing filter. If you zoom right in on its bill you can see this incongruous feather where the nostril should be. Most birds have bristles here instead and the Ruby-crowned Kinglet from America also has bristles instead of a feather filter. This difference in its nostrils, and its voice are quite different from others in the genus Regulus and some authors place it in its own genus Corthylio.
I photographed this individual male Goldcrest in a Sitka Spruce near Holmfirth in West Yorkshire during a lockdown exercise bike ride. I know he was a male because he was singing and only males sing. Males also have a few orange feathers in their yellow crown but these are not always visible.
Yes. next time I will dust it off more carefully.
My Varex received a thorough CLA recently, and the shutter curtains have been replaced.

The Goldcrest , Regulus regulus is Britain’s smallest bird at just 9cm in length, and weighs in at just 5.5g . If not for the fiery orange stripe along its head, the Goldcrest would be a somewhat mute-looking bird, a dull greyish-green plumage and a single stripe along the crown of the bird. Male and female bird look very similar , the most distinctive difference is the crown of the male Goldcrest, which has a tendency to become more prominent during mating displays. The male will bow its head and raise its coloured crest in a bid to attract a female mate during the breeding season.
Goldcrests are resident in the UK all year round and can be best observed among pine forests and very occasionally in gardens over winter. Goldcrests can be hard to spot due not only to their size but also the way they move and climb around trees; one sure way to locate a Goldcrest is to listen to its song, especially when it is part of a group. The collective, high-pitched shrill which is very quiet from a single bird, can help you find them.

A TINY BIRD (9cm length) you hear it more than see it, appears from nowhere, sometimes come amazingly close, but gone in seconds, one landed on my friends hat, but they move so fast, its a nightmare to locate with the lens, constantly fast and active in search of small invertebrates, typically associated with coastal woodland and scrub.
=======================
Hope your weekend is good, birding not Christmas shopping, THANK YOU for your visit and any comment...
Stay safe .........Tomx
A tiny bird, only 9cm in length, can test the patience of any photographer, fleeting from a to b in seconds,keeping behind a few twigs, just find it with your lens and its gone, this is how it was for about ten mins and I only got about six images worth keeping, thanks again to Steve Ashton, for his knowledge, which provided me with a experience I will remember for ever, with this fairly rare beauty.
Best viewed large!

The goldcrest is a tiny kinglet of conifer woodland, scrub, parks and gardens. In autumn, resident birds are joined by large numbers on migration; they arrive on the east coast and are often found in bushes on sand dunes. The goldcrest is widespread in the UK, apart from in areas which are treeless, such as fens and northern Scotland. In winter, it joins other tits and woodland birds in flocks. Although it is our smallest songbird, it can lay up to 12 eggs in a clutch, which is about one and a half times the adult female's bodyweight.

This scaly-fluffy mushroom (6-9cm, Amanita crassiconus nom. prov. Bas, Amanitaceae, Fungi, herbarium ADK6189) is typical for African miombo woodland. It grows on very poor and gravelly soils. Its mycelium lives in symbiosis with the roots of the trees Julbernardia globiflora or Brachystegia spiciformis (Caesalpiniaceae). It is used for food in some remote areas in central and northern Bénin (West Africa).
Photographed this bunch in a miombo forest in Katanga (DR Congo, a year ago, January 2015).
