I remember seeing a marsh tit about twenty years ago between the shore bird warden"s hut and the ringing hut. It was a most unexpected surprise. Again it was its song that alerted me to it
Nice list

Also, a first-winter Yellow-legged Gull on Tennyson Sands this morning

Marsh Tit and Yellow-legged Gull - an odd combination of local rares !
