Some birds are permanent residents in coastal regions and in the southern parts of their range.

Your welcome Daniele.
Cute bird. I Liked the crown.
Thank you Ashley!
Hi Ashley, and welcome to Project Noah! Great spotting and notes! Regarding the video, videos in spottings on Project Noah should be directly related to the spotting itself (i.e. same individuals as in the spotting). Is that is not the case the video should be removed. You can provide a link to a generic video in your notes if you wish. Thank you!
Nice,
