Brabant, Netherlands, Common Firecrest and/or Goldcrest ...? (1 Viewer)

[Bertus]

I spotted several of these birds in the last weeks. I think these two pcs show both species, both of this morning, near each other. The black stripe on the eye on the first determines a Common Firecrest, right? And the other without that stripe would be a Goldcrest then? Sorry for the low quality. I noticed the yellow on the head before making the pics, but I just could not get that photographed. Thnx for advise....

Firecrest has a bold and striking head-pattern, goldcrest has almost none.
