Last summer I was standing near a laburnum tree in the garden when I heard a sound like crackling paper. Looking up, I saw a marsh tit hopping from branch to branch, extracting the seeds from the withered pods, and eating them. I had always been told that laburnum seeds were poisonous .. but apparently the marsh tit hadn't! This morning's Wildlife team try to discover who is right.
