New kid on the block - Cinereous Tit

[Rebellious]

This little bird made an appearance today. Never seen this one before. Was hyper active and wouldn't sit still even for a few seconds. Managed a couple of shots, before it took off and vanished. Please forgive the average shots.

Since we are an international community, thought of sharing more info on the bird. Hope that is OK.
