Ann Thomas Long Tailed Tit captured at Paxton Pits by Jackie Hill. - Credit: JACKIE HILL What a difference this year from last year. We have been able to meet up for the second Breeding Bird survey of the year. The morning did not disappoint. The air was full of bird song. You could hear the cuckoo from the Visitor Centre garden, and you could watch Long Tailed Tits and Greenfinch in and out from their nests in the hedge there.
