Wow, how on earth did you manage to find a Goldcrest nest? Theyre so small!

That was delightful. It always amazes me how the mother doesn't hurt the chicks with that stabbing action of her beak! You don't know the chicks are even there until mum arrives with the grub

Great footage! There are always plenty of them in the countryside and there is one behind my house in the hedges! I have checked on the R.s.p.b website what their song is and it is identical to the sound I always hear! Its the repetitive screeching like a car's brakes; weaving in and out.

The video has an incredible quality. The camouflage of the nest is perfect, just like the surprise for the viewer when the kids take their beaks out of the nest.

Very well done! I think it's one of the cutest birds on earth^^ I'm always happy if I find one.

Superb.

I've never seen these birds in the wild. Must have taken ages to set up and film.
