Long-tailed Tits are collecting small feathers Corvids (either Jackdaws or Carrion Crows - too far away to tell) are collecting twigs Red Kites are collecting twigs I have put out fresh nesting wool for the assorted Tits. They are ignoring it. I think they prefer it when it has been rained on, snowed on, and generally looks as though it has been worn by a sheep for at least three years
