Bearded Tit/Reedling (Panurus biarmicus)

Labels:
For a short spell today in North Norfolk – between skies leaden with rain showers and then later near gale-force winds – there was the most glorious light. This brace of shots of a male Bearded Tit emerging from the shadows of the reed beds into a shaft of sunlight were the highlight of a wonderful afternoon at the Pensthorpe nature reserve.
