Bearded tit or Panurus Biarmicus.

Lives mainly in areas with dense reedbeds. Main areas they are found in the UK are East Anglia, Lancashire and Yokshire, and an isolated colony in Eastern Scotland. Females only have the black marks around their eyes unlike the males whose markings look like a moustache.

In the last week or so a pair of Collared Doves have decided to nest in our outside light...

Two birds engaged in a chase, perhaps the lower one (woodpigeon) avoided the predator by creating a stunning diversion !
