Bearded Tit 05

 

 

Bearded tit     Panurus biarmicus

Also known as the Bearded Reedling, this is a very elusive bird that I enjoyed seeing and photographing.  It must be one of the most beautiful British birds.  They have declined in numbers in recent years, probably due to global cooling.     Norfolk, January 2008.
