The bearded tit is back...

Or has he ever been away? 

And is Mrs Bearded Tit sitting tightly in the reedbed somewhere.  It's the great thing about nature, isn't it?  We don't know the answers. 

But with the open eyes and ears of visitors and volunteers, perhaps all will be revealed over the coming days and weeks.  The male beardie has been spotted in the reeds to the right of the coffee shop a couple of times today, though it goes missing for long periods. 

What will happen next...?
