Another shot of the same Goldcrest, it didn’t stop hopping in the tree until it eventually flew away.

I'm constantly amazed at the accuracy of modern cameras. I saw a shadow of a bird, and not recognising it shot into the trees. The camera found the bird and focused on the eye even as it his behind a thick branch! This is a gold crest - Britain's smallest bird.
![The goldcrest is the smallest European bird, 8.5–9.5 cm (3.3–3.7 in) in length with a 13.5–15.5 cm (5.3–6.1 in) wingspan and a weight of 4.5–7.0 g (0.16–0.25 oz). It is similar in appearance to a warbler, with olive-green upper-parts, buff-white underparts, two white wing bars, and a plain face with conspicuous black irises. The crown of the head has black sides and a narrow black front, and a bright crest, yellow with an orange centre in the male, and entirely yellow in the female the crest is erected in display, making the distinctive orange stripe of the male much more conspicuous.[5] The small, thin bill is black, and the legs are dark flesh-brown](https://mastodon.nl/system/media_attachments/files/114/001/844/182/666/671/original/17a66505115e46c1.jpg "The goldcrest is the smallest European bird, 8.5–9.5 cm (3.3–3.7 in) in length with a 13.5–15.5 cm (5.3–6.1 in) wingspan and a weight of 4.5–7.0 g (0.16–0.25 oz).

Mid-morning Friday I took the #funicular to #Fløyen to go #skiing (as the forecast looked worse for the afternoon). It started snowing as I reached the top, so I limited the trip to a loop around #skomakerdiket. I had to seek shelter from heavy snow underneath a roofed picnic area along with five strangers and a #goldcrest. The weather improved, so skied back down to #Bergen city center. #birdsofmastodon
