Bearded Tit 05

 

 

Bearded tit     Panurus biarmicus

Also known as the Bearded Reedling, this is a very elusive bird that I enjoyed seeing and taking photographs.  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.

Willow tit   Poecile montanus

 

Photographed in the Forest of Dean, May 24th 2011.

Much rarer and a bit scruffier than the Marsh Tit and without a white band of follicles under the eye. Amazingly, they excavate the nest hole themselves and line it with hair and other fine threads, which you can see stuck on the tree and coming from a smaller nest hole by the bird's tail in this image. This tree stump must have been quite a challenge!
