Cute and Fluffy

Off up to the hills to see the owls but not an owl in sight tonight and I really couldn't blame them for not being out and about. Gosh it was freezing in the wind but armed with handwarmers in each pocket I just spent a couple of hours in the cold willing a white pair of wings to come swooping over the horizon but it didn't happen. Good job I'd  taken a pic of this little cutie. 

Much more exciting was going to the window and spying a goldcrest in the garden darting amongst the shrubs; a first here I have to say. I got my camera and sneaked up to the window crawling on the floor but it was no slouch and cleared off in alarm.
