Firecrest 1

Long-tailed Tit 15
Buzzard 1

The Firecrest was a very brief view with a frustratingly mobile Long-tailed Tit flock. It had first been seen at the start of the Goyt Valley mid-afternoon, but I had possibly two views of it, the first just past the boathouse, where the track turns left to Sandy Bay, and the second, a much better view, an hour later at Sandy Bay itself. The trick with this bird seems to be finding the tit flock. A better day is forecast tomorrow, so maybe it will be easier to pin down.
