I never go to Bateman's without seeing Nuthatch and Treecreeper, the High Weald landscape really suits these species. The trees were also full of Goldcrests. The river Dudwell was quite high after recent rain, and I was thrilled to see a Grey Wagtail on the water.
This bird is still in its winter plumage, in the summer it will develop a dark bib. The yellowness of its breast suggests it is an older bird, not in its first winter.
A very friendly Dunnock. An adult bird judging by the amount of grey plumage around the neck.
Robin.
