Firecrests are always noteworthy, especially the further West one travels in Somerset.
In the extreme edges of East Somerset, Firecrests have replaced Goldcrests as the dominant species during the Breeding season.

Being fairly new to the area not sure if these are noteworthy but at least 4 Firecrest between Minehead and Greenaleigh Point plenty of Goldcrest around and a single Blackcap
