Bearded Tits.

Bearded Tits.

Had a run down to Leighton Moss on Saturday, hoping for a bittern, well I just had missed the only sighting that day by five minutes, and also 10 Bearded tits, so was a bit of a wait until these two appeared, unfortunately not a shot of them on the reeds, was really impressed with the reserve with most of the hides right next to the waters edge, unlike what we have up here in most places, never managed to get all round the place in the day to see other things, hopefully on a brighter day but planning to be back down this Saturday if the weather is ok

Well done, Andrew, they're such difficult birds to pin down. We're planning to go up there next month but I reckon they will have finished grit gathering by then!

Super double Andrew taken from the causeway, many tfs and I see they have replenished the grit trays.
 
A wonderful double capture of these little beauties, Andrew !!! I've yet to see one. Thanks for sharing.

It's a great reserve, isn't it Andy. And within reach for us too.

Those grit trays really do allow pretty close views don't they - and you seem to have made the most of that opportunity.

I see they've put one in at Kinnordy now, to the left of the Gullery Hide... so you never know, it might persuade the blighters to hang around more!
 
A very nicely composed study of these lovely birds, Andrew.
 
Great behaviour, colours, and birds, Andy. I can't travel, mate; if it's not local, I'll never see it ;)
 
Nice double capture Andy...Glad you enjoyed your day out south of the border mate.
