Late news Saturday 17 Feb. A largish (50-80) group of very high flying geese flew over west to east without calling. I was under the trees looking for Siskin so my view was very much obscured and brief. They were not Canada or Greylag and after a conversation with Craig Reed today and watching videos of them in flight I am 99.9% Pink Footed Geese per Wali Taylor

Hi guys - hoping you can help a non-local out! Will be passing through at the weekend and may be able to pay a flying visit to Sandwell Valley, hoping for Willow Tit in particular (now non-existent in my part of the world). I don’t know the site at all and I wondered if it's possible to access the site and view the feeders before the main 10am opening time? Thanks in advance for any help.
