Firecrest at Rodley

 First time out for a few months what with injuries and other things
 going on but decided on a trip to Rodley Nature Reserve hoping to see
 the Firecrest that had been seen a few weeks ago as Ive only ever seen
 one and that was while I was on my postal round, and the Black Swan.

 Got out of the car and lo and behold within 5 minutes there was the
 Firecrest right in front of me, camera not prepared and on wrong settings
 and lighting was appalling but it was still great to see it so close and
 then as I looked above the Black Swan was swanning off to pastures new.
 so it was quite fruitful in the first half hour, the Firecrest showed up 3
 more times but always while I was alone, when the crowds showed up
 it seemed to disappear.

 Treecreeper, Wren, Little Grebe, Goldcrest, LTT, Gadwall, Moorhen,
  Blue & Great Tit, Coot, Cormorant, Pink-Footed, Greylag, and Canada
 Geese, Fieldfare, Mistle Thrush, Redwing were at a distance, Robin,
  Dunnock, Blackbird, Tufted Duck, Teal, Grey Heron, Greenfinch,
 Bullfinch, Dunnock and Reed Bunting were seen by me but I missed
 out on the Barn Owl that was seen earlier in the morning.

  Cromwell Bottom was very quiet with only the usual birds being seen
  though Mike H had seen some Siskin and a couple of Goldcrest all I got
  were 6 Goldfinch up on the meadow but was nice bumping into him, also
  nice to bump into Chris T, Peter H, Jan and Paul up at Rodley.
