Male Bearded Tit / Reedling mid call. The 'Ping' call is very disticntive and used by the family flock to keep tabs on each other whilst foraging through the reedbed.
I have noticed before that the 'moustache' is in 2 main parts - with a break at the bottom of the top beak.
I have included a link to an earlier shot below where this was a bit clearer (and closer). Both shots however were taken in almost exactly the same spot, but a year apart.
Taken in Norfolk.

Nothing else sounds like a flock of Bearded Tits 'pinging' away to each other in the depth of the reed bed. These contact calls help them stay together when out of sight foraging amongst the reed stems.

Male Bearded Tit / Reedling - mid 'Ping' call.
Didn't realise I had managed to catch him doing this - but really pleased as it is a bit different.
Have not noticed before (as I haven't got a 'Ping' shot this close before) but the moustache seems to be in 2 sections 'hinged' where the 2 parts of the bill meet.
They normally use this call to keep the flock together, especially when foraging amongst the reed stems in low light.
The small flock flew into the tall reeds and I could hear them but not really get a view until this chap appeared and stayed for a few seconds in a gap between the stems.
There was light cloud cover this morning which gives a nice light for photographing these stunning birds, it is so easy to blow out the highlights on their throat it direct sun.

Part of our tour to China some years back. Some of the unspoiled scenery we were privileged to witness. Hills sculpted into rice terraces that change colour every season, green in summer, yellow in autumn, white in winter. Our visit was in May before all that but still beautiful. Panorama stitched together in Photoshop from two pictures. It was not my intention to take a pano at the time, I am amazed that it worked! I only wanted to get more of the beautiful scenery and interesting village. It is not great quality photography, but I think it is got a good 'moment'.
At one time, the town of Ping was a thriving community. This house belonged to the post master and functioned as the post office from 1889--1910. Luckily, somewhere along the way, a metal roof was installed, slowing the deterioration of this abandoned home.
Happy Fence Friday!
I'm interested in everything about people. Not just, 'what do you do for a living?' but I want to know about their fears and sadnesses and listen to their regrets, both sides of it, the happy and the sad.

We were over at my sister's house tonight having a little ping pong action. I couldn't resist the lure of taking some pictures and toying with some fun lighting.
