I don't often see Goldcrests and 36 years of working in noisy telephone exchanges means I don't hear them very often either. These were at the Lurgies where I'd gone after finding ice in a few other sites. The bare shingle which had the mud scoured off by recent floods isn't a favourite of the waders, and only a few Redshanks were on it.
The river was high and dirty so I had a look at the Railway Station, it wasn't much better with a few Teal and 90 Wigeon, and what looked like 70 Knot in the distance and a scattering of small Dunlin flocks.
One of three or four Goldcrests working their way up the Lurgies path. Also on the path a Treecreeper which was impossible to photograph
They just wouldn't stay still and kept disappearing then re-appearing further up the path
