I have given up looking for the exact speed of a tit but I think its
somewhere between 20-50mph.
However,
A Peregrine Falcon, chased by an airplane (unusual circumstances) - top
speed ever recorded at 145 mph

Any road I thought you were the birdie man who would tell us how fast birds
fly.

The Link Said

In 1938 an American newspaper published a report from a pilot who was
nose-diving at 170mph. The speed of his plane wasn't exceptional. What was
remarkable was that he was passed by a diving peregrine stooping on some
ducks "as though the plane was standing still". In 1955 another observer
used a stop-watch to record the speed of needletail swifts crossing a valley
in the Cahar Hills of Assam. The valley was two miles broad and the birds
took between 32.8 and 41.8 seconds to traverse it. Thus the fastest speed
was 219.5mph

We have a few pied wagtails around, also the odd group of hoopoes, and
plenty of sparrows, also a few house martins still around. but threr
will be more in the next month or so when they start to pass through.
There are also a fair number of birds I haven't yet identified, must
get a bird recognition book for here.
