I can finally add long-tailed tit to my patchlist this year, with a single individual in a 'flock' with 2 goldcrests in Margravine Cemetery this morning. I was starting to despair, where were all the long-tailed tits gone? Before the New Year I would see them on each visit to the Cemetery without any effort, and the past few days, totally the opposite, effort with no reward...

Another one that I had been surprised not to see on the first day was wren, which I added yesterday with a bird on a wall at the end of the street. So, of the regulars in Margravine Cemetery, I am now only missing the dunnock.
