I spent most of the day grappling with the confusing online application process for getting a visa to visit India. Got there in the end after two goes. On the first attempt I entered Peterborough, United Kingdom as the place of issue of my passport. The end result was that the Visa form printed that section as Peterborough United. Amazing isn't it?
Anyway got the bird feeders going again in the garden and the local avifauna were quick to respond. Two Nuthatches were first in followed by the usual tits and finches. Very challenging was the arrival of both Marsh and Willow Tits. The ID of these similar species is still difficult at times unless you hear a call (not possible behind the kitchen window) or get very close views. We did achieve it with a bit of help from binoculars. Marsh Tit pictured of course.
