Todays Bird ID's Please

Hi everyone

A gorgeous day again - had a lovely walk with the dog round Knypersley Pool in Staffordshire. Some good photo opportunities - tufted duck and grebe seemed closer to edges of the water than normal - usually way out in the middle.
I was taking a few photos of a nuthatch close by and noticed this one much higher up in a different tree - somehow didn't quite look like a nuthatch - or is it?

This next one was also in the same tree and I'm not sure what it is - possibly a female reed bunting?

My final one here is the grebe which I have taken to be a Great-crested in winter plumage? I was particularly pleased with the overall composition of this photo.


Cheers

Tich

Your first is a male Chaffinch Tich, and your second is a Dunnock.
