I have just read your statement on the London wiki. If you have any questions it is best to ask me either on this site or using my email address that can be found on the yahoo Londonbirders. I think that the connection with Long-tailed tits isn't that valid, they do follow sometimes, though I think that they tend to keep to themselves. I wouldn't be surprised if there were more than 3 birds present.
Thanks for the corrections/updates, which I've duly added, attributed to you, to my Wiki summary via the trusty 'Edit' button. (Wish Blogger had one!) To explain, I saw the question to you on the Wiki just minutes after it was asked this morning, so I judged it was best to just grasp the nettle and jump in with detailed directions in case you weren't around and anyone reading was minded to hunt Firecrests in the Park on a sunny Sunday afternoon.
