I'm absolutely fed up SF

I'm absolutely fed up SF (Regulus regulus)

"Well, do I look happy? No I don't. All I ever hear is "Oh look, there's a Goldcrest! It's Britain's smallest bird you know!" Smallest? Most insignificant, that's what they mean. "I must put out more food for the Blue Tits and Great Tits". When do they ever put out food for ME? Oh, and "Birds as small as Goldcrests are not very long-lived, you know". Yes I do know, thanks for the reminder. And the family doesn't help: I've got kinglet cousins in America apparently, but how often do they bother to come and visit? Never, that's how often. Huh. Merry Christmas!"

And indeed a very Merry Christmas to all BF members and staff.

Awww, poor sweetie! He's mistaken, though. I'd be thrilled to see him, especially if I got a photo like this one. |=)|
