Firecrest Described by the RSPB as a ‘tiny, restless jewel of a bird’, the firecrest is one of the UK’s smallest birds. Evergreen woodlands are a good place to look out for them, and they are easiest to see in autumn and winter. They are thought to be breeding in small numbers in around 550 territories across the UK - including Sydenham Hill Wood. For more information, visit www.wildlondon.org/species/firecrest.
