Observation details

Warblington cemetery. A male was observed displaying to a female Firecrest for 8 minutes, or so. The Gokdcrest had its crest raised and dancing about and around the Firecrest. The Gokdcrest was not singing. A female Goldcrest was in a nearby tree perched passively. A male Firecrest was occasionally singing from another tree. Eventually, the female Firecrest left and joined the singing male Firecrest. Extraordinary behaviour.
