Swithland woods just before it gets too crowded at bank holiday, was quiet and the car parks almost empty. Surprising then that at times it was like Piccadilly Circus with cars some leaving others arriving.
It didn't disturb the birds too much though and unusually it was a Coal tit that came to the stump first. It also broke its established habit by staying around for a while.

The Chaffinch refused to go to the stump, he stayed on the ground and picked up anything that fell off.

The blue tit is always quick, he never waits around for long but I did get one shot of him.

A movement in a tree nearby attracted my attention to this Coal tit puffing out his feathers.
