Willow tit, Threave, Dumfries&Galloway. Notable that their territory fell within young or coppiced willow and without singing blue and great tit which were instead within high woodland close by. Collecting moss for nest. Now a distant memory for NLincs.

Gold dust. After failing to find one last year at Carstramon, very pleased to find WO singing late morning. Still clinging on. iPhone recording here - gear packed for early morning session tomorrow. Sitting in a wood full of common birds with no background noise is the most precious of things.
