Today my daily dog walk around Buile Hill Park produced a pair of Coal Tits.. I can't recall ever seeing this species in the park before? Also the past week there has been a high number of Nuthatch's active throughout the park along with the resident Great spotted Woodpeckers drumming and courting. Plus a small flock of Redwings still present too.
