Willow Tits - Maesteg : 13.November 2024

On Wednesday 13th November I paid a visit to our local feeding station in the Llynfi Valley to top up the feeders following Colin Gittins' visit the previous weekend.
We have been fortunate to have a small number of Willow Tits present in the area since 2020 and they appear to still be holding their own despite being the UK's fastest declining bird species.
After topping up the feeders birds came in quickly to feed and amongst them were 2, possibly 3 Willow Tits.
Also present were Blue, Great and Coal Tits, M+F Bullfinch, Dunnocks, Blackbirds, Robins, Chaffinches, Jays and Magpies.
The Willow Tits come in and depart so quickly that it is quite difficult to get a photo of one perched on a branch and not on a feeder which is easier, I did however luckily manage just the one perched shot.
Here are some photographs from a very enjoyable morning......
