A Pair of Firecrests chasing each other around Saturday. The Male had a bright orange crest, but could only manage to photograph the female. I also did the trail walk and counted the most Goldcrests I have ever seen in 1 location. I am confident in saying I counted 7 in different areas of the wood. Three at the same time in same tree.  Five Chiffchaffs, Family of Long Tailed Tits at least 9 of them. Lots of Wrens, Two Great Spotted Woodpeckers and one very noisy Not seen Green Woodpecker that nearly made me jump out of my shoes. Some photo’s below.
