Was visiting Gloucester today for work so called in lunchtime to see if the Penduline Tits were around. There were 8 scattered birders around the lake/pond looking bored. I notice some bullrush at the back of the lake being shredded and glimpsed two birds moving (turned out these were reed bunts). I pointed out the location to the nearest three birders but the guy said he thought the tits were much closer (he'd seen them there last) and pointed at the spot. There they were! They then flew straight over our head and landed in some bushes behind us. Two minutes later they were up in the air and off. Back in the car after around ten minutes 297 in the bag.
