Today a quick sprint up the motorway and a mornings birding at Maigmo Mountain not surprisingly Woodlarks we're putting on a show, we've now renamed Maigmo Mountain to Woodlark Central, plenty Woodlarks showing off, and many more heard. All the Tits seen with one exception Blue Tit, 3 Rock Bunting showed well at the balcony of Alicante also on the way up a few Tree Creepers.

The birding Moment of the day came in the form of a rather small bird but incredibly stylish Kinglet or Firecrest, The head crest, orange in the male and yellow in the female.

When displayed and during breeding, the orangey crown strip becoming more prominent and wedged-shaped. This Firecrest looked like a punk rocker with an orange Mohican hairstyle.
Unfortunately, I didn't get any sharp images of this Firecrest mainly because it was in the shade and flitting around like Lewis Hamilton, so just a few shots but more than good enough to explain what I'm referring to

| Rock Bunting |
The other Firecrest's that were around all had the thin crown Strip, so this particular bird must be a breeding male, and the others were females.
Interesting! Gareth spotted Red Squirrel close to the Firecrest. Red Squirrel are known to rob the eggs of Firecrest?
