Goldcrest or Firecrest perhaps?

Very tiny bird spotted in tree at Deeping Lakes, Goldcrest have been sighted here so I am hopeful this could be my first sighting of this little beauty?

Red Admiral

 How lovely to still have Red Admirals on the Dahlias in November

Rainbow at Paxton Pits

We started our walk at Paxton Pits on a reasonable sunny day, after sitting a while in the Kingfisher Hide we continued the circular walk around the lakes. Before too long the heavens opened, we tried to shelter but soon realised this rain was not stopping so heads down and we had to proceed, good job we had full waterproof protection.  It was when we arrived back at our starting point I realised I had left my tripod in the Kingfisher Hide. Whoops!  I left Shan and returned to the Kingfisher Hide but the tripod had disappeared.  Fingers crossed I went to the visitor centre to find out that a very kind gentleman had handed it in.
