They sound like they might be Goldfinches...they make a rattling/tinkling noise and feed in flocks... Google goldfinch, they are beautiful birds, very small, mostly brown, red faces and yellow on the wings.

	could be juvenile goldfinches or blue tits not yet developed their colour 'bits'. don't think they can be wrens, they tend to creep along the undergrowth or fencing looking for insects and don't flock I don't think. ann Glos
