TIT FAMILY
A visit to Stanton Park produced five members of the tit family in a flurry of activity around the feeders. I saw 2 marsh tits and 2 coal tits, together with a flock of long tailed tits and several great tits and blue tits. It was hard to get any decent photos as they perched for only a second or two before flying off. There were also a couple of robins, 3 male chaffinches, a dunnock, blackbird and 2 nuthatches all trying to get a share of the food I had put out for them. A tree creeper was also visible on a nearby tree. At home I had a flock of redwings and a goldcrest.
