Oh yes, you have just jogged my memory we also found 3 mallards on our large garden pond at our previous home, fed them until they mugged us everytime we opened the kitchen back door! also had a visit from a kingfisher and a redstart at that pond as well as the herons.

We have two firecrests, used to be three but one flew into the window despite stick on birds etc. now I know this next bit is going to sound odd..... it now lives in a little box in the freezer for anyone to look at if they haven't seen one before! We also have a visit everynight from a badger who gets a peanut butter s/w, if I don't see him he rattles the door with his nose much to the dogs disgust, he has been coming for 5 yrs now and we know it's the same one as he only has one ear.

Firecrest here too-just the one, only once. It was the shrill & piercing call that alerted me to it. It was in one of my Larch Trees. Considering its name-Firecrest, the outstanding feature was a smudge on its neck like a thumb print. Nice looking bird mind
