This is very tricky. It was hard to see this bird really clearly as it
was darting in and out of the climbing rose where the feeders hang.
We're both clear it was black & white with no colour that we could see.
I *thought* it had a white streak over the eye but can't see that on
anything I've hunted for on web sites so I think my vision of it was too
obscured to be certain. WHEN the sun returns and we go back to a 'drink
in the garden before supper', we'll have another look for it. We seem to
be having a few previously unseen avian visitors this year and last.


The white streak makes me think it was a Coal Tit


And I think you're absolutely right! Thanks, David!
