I try not to use playback, but I thought I would try it yesterday as Crested Tits always stay so high in the trees. These #tits typically don't respond well to playback, so I was shocked when this happened. 😲 #BirdingHungary #ittybittyburbs

Female Superb Fairy-wren (Malurus cyaneus) with her little orange mask. 😀 #BirdingAustralia #BirdingTasmania #fairywrens #ittybittyburbs

A Long-tailed Tit (Aegithalos caudatus) came by yesterday to ask me what I was doing. "Why are you looking at all those geese and cranes? You should be looking at ME!!" 😂 #BirdingHungary #tits #bushtits #ittybittyburbs

One more image of yesterday's Goldcrest (Regulus regulus) I just can't imagine where the name Goldcrest comes from. 😂😂😂 #BirdingHungary #kinglets #goldcrests #ittybittyburbs

Another shot of Common Firecrest (Regulus ignicapilla) showing the top of the head. The red is hidden underneath the yellow and only shows when the birds is alarmed or pissed. 😄 #BirdingHungary #BirdsSeenin2025 #kinglets #firecrest #ittybittyburbs

I think the Goldcrest is Europe's smallest bird, but this guy is number two. The Common Firecrest (Regulus ignicapilla). Goldcrest and Firecrest are Europe's version of NA's kinglets. #BirdingHungary #BirdsSeenin2025 #firecrest #kinglets #birds #ittybittyburbs
