I've recently installed a new bird feeder and was very pleased to see birds starting to use it pretty quickly. I've rarely bought coconuts filled with a fat ball mix, so both these features were graced by Long Tailed Tits on 8 February, within days and in the snow. There must have been about 8 birds in the group that visited the feeder but it wasn't possible to capture them all at onece. Social distancing isn't a consideration for these birds until such time as they pair off in the summer.

Hi Sue,
A good selection of birds.
I'd heard there were whoopers at Cottenham, but didn't know they were after sugar beet remains.
Just one long-tailed tit here on Thursday - can't begin to match your gaggle; frequent visits from coal tits and a blackcap occasionally on fat balls and seeds. Have seen a red kite in the distance from my study window.

So long has been my delay in responding to this comment that I think the Long Tailed Tits are on the point of pairing off!
