someone just brought me the smallest bird in the UK

Antrim, Northern Ire, United Kingdom(Zone 8b)

A guy just brought me a Goldcrest in a crisp box. It was hunting spiders around the windows of his work and it flew in through an open door. Trying to catch it it hit the glass and knocked itself out. If only I had my camera at work. I didnt think it fair to keep it in the box until I got home. I let it go as soon as I heard it jumping in the box. It sat on my palm before flying into a Rowan and immediately starting to feed.

ahhh!
