Penduline Tits

Checked out the reeds near the Jackdaw colony on the Besor stream this morning. Amazed to see a pair of Penduline Tits - I've found these to be really elusive, forever keeping just out of sight, keeping behind reeds and generally giving only the most fleeting of views.

I thought this view was going to be it.

But no, this one put on a splendid performance.

Ironically it was the normally visible Clamorous Reed Warblers that skulked and hid.

Otherwise it was a quiet morning - very little at Besor Reservoir apart from a couple of Ferruginous Duck and the two Greater White-fronted Geese at Re'im Reservoir along with a dozen or so Shelduck.
