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.

Many thanks to all those who fave or comment, much appreciated.
The cable car in front of us is just arriving at the top of the cable held up by Pylon 3 in the long 25 minute journey from Tung Chung to Ngong Ping Village, on Lantau Island, Hong Kong.

One of my favourite films ever is, The Hunt For Rec October, (work with me on this one). There is the classic Basil Exposition line uttered by Alec Baldwin's character "How do you get a crew [people] off a NUCLEAR submarine" *raise eyebrow*. The implication being that Jack Ryan knows Remius will fake a nuclear leak in order to defect.
It is a none-too-subtle way of showing you can easily motivate people through fear and confusion (greed, love, necessity are others). Seems familiar somehow *LL raises eyebrow*.
A film about submarines containing the word October seems quite apt as October is often a month that brings surprises and something might get sunk soon.
A big October surprise on the way?

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.
She has at least another half dozen tucked under her that aren't visible in the photo.
Hope you all had a great Saturday.
Ours was Silly. :)
I love not taking my tripod on a hike. We walked for 6 hours through the mountains for this view. This panorama is a merge of 5 images taken handheld..
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.

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!
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.
Lighting info: sb-600 (bare) high camera-left @ 1/4 and sb-800 (also bare) directly behind Rachel @ 1/8 and tilted up at about 45 degrees or so.

Lantau
Lantau Island (also Lantao Island; Chinese: 大嶼山) is the largest island in Hong Kong, located at the mouth of the Pearl River. Administratively, most of Lantau Island is part of the Islands District of Hong Kong. A small northeastern portion of the island is located in the Tsuen Wan District.
The Ngong Ping 360, a gondola lift, is located on Lantau and is operated by the MTR. Opened in mid-September 2006, this provides a 5.7 km 20 minute gondola cableway journey between Tung Chung and Ngong Ping. (Wikipedia)
