It is not just the Penduline Tits that we now associate with our stands of Greater and Lesser Reedmace but as you will have seen iin countless images, the Bearded Tits have taken to it big time this year in search of the tiny moth caterpillars that live within the fabric of the seedhead. we often see Blue tits, Stonechats, Wrens and Reed Bunting attacking the heads and on Wednesday we even caught a Magpie exhibiting the the same behaviour! As for the Penduline Tits; there is still time for a return! It was mid February last year!
