Leighton Moss - reeds and Bearded Reedlings

Not the perfect day weather-wise, but it was going to be dry, albeit misty, so we headed down to Leighton Moss in the hope of seeing Beared Reedlings ....and we did. Just the two, but they are adorable! Not brilliant photos and I would love ot return on a better day and go earlier in the day to photograph them on the reeds before they descend onto the grit trays. In the autumn they swap from eating insects t o eating reed seeds - they come to the grit as the grit aids seed digestion - clever! 

Waiting ....




..and pictures of reeds - because I like reeds!
