Firecrest & Coal Tits along the Hospital perimeter bushes
On Friday 31st October, after receiving a text the previous day from Rob H to say that he had seen a Firecrest along the perimeter fence, I couldn't go at the time as I was doing some Literature search training for a GP trainee. But on Friday, in the morning as I walked around the southern side of the James Paget Hospital, just east of the Portacabin, I heard a scratchy 'crest call which alerted me to a fine Firecrest flitting about in the tree beside me. It then flew to the southern perimeter fence. At lunchtime, I investigated further and although I heard it again I could't locate it. 2 Goldcrests were in the bushes and showed well and the mournful 'peuu' of a Coal Tit revealed 2 delightful Coal Tits at the top of a Pine along the southern side of the path just outside the southern perimeter fence.
