Firecrest

Yes definitely!  Thought it was a Goldcrest at first until I got a really good view of the white stripe. Devilish hard to photograph though (from behind glass too) - didn't keep still for a moment.

.......and as I write this, two Jays appear in the garden on this very frosty day, just 2 days after an inch of snow fell.
