A minimal count based on 3 flocks, the largest of which was at one of the ponds with 46 birds. A very unusual sight here. Another flock flew north just before I saw the other two but seen too briefly to rule out other species among them.

At least 2 very vocal birds in a mixed tit flock, just south of the car park. Also heard a bit further south so probably still good numbers here, unlike other woods that used to have them.
