    @Kandy, I haven't heard of Goldcrests suffering from any disease or problems, maybe a one off growth, as you know, the Chaffinch is the main bird for cauliflower feet.

          Thanks Kandy ,I wasn’t sure if maybe it was a young one.
          And the yellow face was confusing.

            Hi Roders I have changed my description as I was only looking at the fact that it was black and white and on checking it appears that youngsters can have quiet yellow face variations.Lovely photo though:smile:

                    Looks like the shape of an English robin but American robins are usually bigger.

                              Spotted whilst out walking in the forest.

                              I think it may be a Great Crested Grebe :scratch:
