Coal Tit

Back to Wales and the unusually mild and dry autumn has disappeared. November has started cold and damp. In otherwords much the norm! With Winter around the corner we have noticed significantly more activity at the bird feeders, and throughout the garden in general. In addition to the usual occupants, we have seen Jay, Goldfinch, Starlings (now moving around in large flocks) and, yesterday, the first Redwing of the season....no doubt more will follow soon. In amongst these, at long last, I have managed to get a decent photo of a Coal Tit. This is the smallest Tit and one of the smallest birds to be seen in the UK.
