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.

píng ān. Safe and sound, well without mishap, quiet and safe at peace.

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. :)

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'.
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!

Ping Shan in Kowloon Bay. 180m height, In the afternoon, the sky was great with beautiful clouds. So, I just want to find a convenience place to capture the sunset. Finally it took me 1 hour to get here and the night view is stunning.
This is Mr Ping. He was my trishaw driver when I was in Penang. He is a very chilled out type of character and it was really interesting talking to him. He works for a tour company there that arrange day excursions and trips in and around Malaysia. He spoke about his time in Penang and his driving days as he peddaled me around Georgetown and Little India.
These little three wheeler rishaw type buggies are well cool, very comfy....as long as you don't go over any potholes...and also watch out for the traffic. As we approached Little China, a few cars really got too close for comfort and we had a narrow escape with a lorry when going round one particular bend.
Full faith in Mr Ping though..he is one helluva trishaw driver. Thank you for the enjoyable journey! :)
