Penduline tit (Remiz pendulinus)

Because of the weather forecast I didn't go to The Somerset Levels and unfortunately had to spend a day a day with the Penduline tits (how awful). The light wasn't good but I think after firing off over 3 thousand frames I might have one or two keepers. I met Nick Baker the Naturalist (Nick Baker's Weird Creatures) he's a really nice guy. It has been confirmed that they are a male and a female Penduline and they were playing at collecting nest material today... so you never know. We can but hope.
