I went to my 'spot' today with the laptop and sound files of a willow tit,
marsh tit and nuthatch. I played all three but got no response. I did
see the Jay again. It landed in a tree beyond the 'feeding post' but was
obscured by branches and left before I could even point the camera at it.
It did return to feed on the ground about 20 feet away but by the time I'd
found it in the preview, it disappeared behind some rock, Darn!

My wife, on her usual walk, saw a heron's nest, 5 herons, one little egret
and a buzzard. There are kingfishers further up as well as several waders
near the marina.

I have added a few more photos and short video of the Nuthatch feeding from
a tray which we fit to the bonnet of the car, just by the wipers.
I saw our Yellowhammer this morning under our feeders but it had gone by the
time I had the camera.
My nephew, who lives 3 miles away reported that all his starlings have left
and now he can enjoy his 'garden' birds. My buggers were still here this
morning. I hope the wind stays from the south west for another day or two!
