Was there a week ago and got much the same list apart from the Goldcrest. One of my favourite places to go birding currently.

Nuthatchs are easily seen at Mere Sands Wood, though 10 years ago you wouldn't find one.

You've got some stunning Nuthatches in India. Chestnut-bellied north of the peninsula, Kashmir in the far north, White-tailed along the Nepal border, the gorgeous White-cheeked in Kashmir and the superb Velvet-fronted around the margin and across the base of the peninsula. We, in the UK, have to make do with one.
