My bird of the day was a group of Long-tailed Tits that passed through the garden. The first I noticed of them was their constant call and then one by one they flew from a bush a few yards away and they just kept coming and coming and coming, there must have been at least 20+ birds

BOTD for me were a family group of Tree Creepers I saw flitting around in Virginia Water. The adults were feeding the fledglings and it was quite delightful to observe these birds so closely. |

That's a nice list you have there. It says 'Bird of the Day', but nobody specified which day!

My BOTD are 3 juvenile nuthatches on the feeders . They were just getting the idea that they were supposed to feed hanging upside down. They didn,t appear too sure ! |

A Common Buzzard being mobbed by a pair of Merlin this afternoon, not something I've ever seen before.
