We moved onto the main reserve area & headed towards the public hide, as you walk
along the track through the Reedbed there is a clearing.Here where the Reedbed has been
cut there are a couple of grit trays to attract birds which need to eat the grit to help them digest
the Reed seeds.On all our previous visits these little birds have eluded us but on Sunday our
luck was in as we saw six Bearded Tits come to the trays.They are great little birds who only
live in Reedbed areas, the male with his droopy moustache & the less flamboyant females were
a joy to see at last.They are also a great subject for taking snaps, here are a few of those we took.
