A new lifer during my lunch walk (Crested Tit) (1 Viewer)

[mjohanning]

I always take a walk around the area my office is in during my lunch break. There is a cemetery not far away that borders a forest and I always go there to watch birds.
Today, however, I barely managed to see any birds and was about to head back to the office. Suddenly I heard a call that was unfamiliar to me so I used Merlin's Bird ID to help me — and it turns out to have been a Crested Tit (Haubenmeise)!

After some waiting around at a tree, I finally managed to see it briefly! Such adorable birds and also a new lifer for me! Not the best of photos but I am really happy to have finally seen one! The location is a cemetery in Halle (Westf.) in North-Western Germany.

Congratulations on your latest Lifer Marvin.

I'd be pleased with that picture but then, I've not got one yet sadly.

I am pleased, but if I had had more time and hadn't needed to go back to work I would've probably been able to take a better one. Thank you
