A trip out today to the Lower Tamar Lake in hope of seeing Willow Tit , we walked along the path to the hide and when we got there another birder was already in the hide as he was trying to photograph a Water Rail , he told me that Willow Tits had been coming to the feeder all the time that he had been there ! so I crouched down and looked out of the window and after a while a couple came in and grabbed some seed and were gone again in a flash , but I managed to get these shots of them but it was very hard crouching down and taking them out of the window hence a couple are not really sharp but they do show the main features of the bird... a pale wing panel , whole white cheeks and a larger bib and duller cap than the Marsh Tits that were also seen .
