Well, after a delay, here is some more about the new house and grounds!
The photo shows one of a pair of very tame Pied Wagtails that frequent the garden. Though a young male seems intent on chasing off the male of the two.
So far the bird list includes:
Robin, Wren, Chaffinch, Goldfinch, Greenfinch, House Sparrow, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Coal Tit, Long-tailed Tit, Dunnock, Blackbird, Song Thrush, Mistle Thrush, Redwing, Fieldfare, Pied Wagtail, Woodpigeon, Collared Dove, Magpie, Carrion Crow, Jay, Jackdaw, Herring Gull, Black-headed Gull, Lesser Black-backed Gull, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Green Woodpecker, Moorhen, Mallard, Pheasant, Red-legged Partridge.
I don't think that's a bad list for a few weeks of intermittent visits and not looking properly yet.
Several Mallards seem resident on the pond and the Moorhens come very close to the house. Large flocks of winter thrushes in the field.
