Reading in the shade overlooking the gardens there was a sudden commotion.....looking up three gold crests were heading for my face....
Now I adore birds but splat in my face is not on so I ducked...
The birds did an emergency stop and flew off.....but something had gone down my back inside my strappy top...it's hot here....

I sat up, wriggled a bit and over my shoulder appeared an enormous and beautiful cricket.....
He nuzzled my cheek, thanked me for saving him from the birds so I popped him in the shrubs by the door....bliss...... :-)

Ohhh Noooo!

Are you sure it was a cricket?
crickets are tiny.

I had no idea Goldcrests hunt in packs.
