Have you seen any?

  They have been seen - but not by me. I heard them. They were near the reed bed hide. Well, yes, everyone was talking about bearded tits today  - but I was not lucky. I did get this sweet bobin though.

On the way to the reed bed hide I also saw a lovely stonechat and stopped for , errr , chat.

  

It was coot world today and I love to see a coot run. The light was amazing. 

There were dab chicks and a little egret. Plus a few teal 'last one down is a cissy' 

Later in the bird garden all the favourties came along. The long tail tits were so mousey :-) You cant be unhappy is a long tail tit is about. 

Old Moor is simply great. A day of the usual suspects is nevertheless  wonderful.  One day, maybe, a bearded tit will say hi to me.
