The Bearded Helmetcrest is a true treasure of Colombia. This fellow lives near the active volcano at almost 14,000 ft. They are large with thick feathers to survive in these extreme conditions feeding on the small flowers thriving there.

Bearded Reedling - Panurus Biarmicus

Norfolk Titchwell

aka Bearded Tit. (M)

This species is a wetland specialist, breeding colonially in large reed beds by lakes or swamps. It eats reed aphids in summer, and reed seeds in winter, its digestive system changing to cope with the very different seasonal diets.

Often having to take grit in order to help digestion.

The bearded reedling is a species of temperate Europe and Asia. It is resident, and most birds do not migrate other than eruptive or cold weather movements. It is vulnerable to hard winters, which may kill many birds. The English population of about 500 pairs is largely confined to the south and east with a small population in Leighton Moss in north Lancashire. In Ireland a handful of pairs breed in County Wexford. The largest single population in Great Britain is to be found in the reedbeds at the mouth of the River Tay in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, where there may be in excess of 250 pairs.

Other Breeding areas include Norfolk and Somerset and Alkborough Flats, lincolnshire.

Population:

UK breeding:

630 pairs

Europe:

232 - 437,000 birds

Add a 'Jolly Roger' and a cutlass and he could give Johnny Depp a run for his money

Poor light and uncooperative birds limited our opportunities

Luckily this guy did manage a few seconds in the open., although at a distance

Panurus biarmicus

Also still known to many as the Bearded tit they are actually no relation to the titmice being the soul member of the Panuridae family and are more closely related to larks than titmice

So happy to capture a Bearded Reedling as I have been after one for ages, they are really hard to see, as you can see always hidden in the reeds lol. Its not a great shot but very exciting for me :-)
