Bearded tit on grit tray on the fringe of the reed bed Just look at the colourful plumage of this bearded tit. The bright orange bill, the dove grey head and those long black moustachios down over his white breast. His mantle is a warm russet-orange and his wings are streaked with white and black. A strikingly handsome bird well-lit on a day of cloudless blue sky.
In spring, he feeds on insects. In autumn and winter his diet is reed seeds and grit in this feeding tray is an aid to digestion. The RSPB entice the birds out of the reeds for us to admire.
