Bearded tits, marsh harriers and spoonbills

Thought it about time I posted some new photos though they are taken off patch.  Have not been able to get out too much lately though did manage to have some excellent views saturday lunch time of the stunning male bearded tit that the ringers had caught earlier that morning.  Unfortunately it was not easy to photograph and was soon frightened off by some toddlers never to be seen again.  

On Wednesday I decided to try my luck for bearded tits at Radipole and despite never seeing them there before I was stunned to be spoilt for views - the best being from the walkway to the North hide.

There was not a great deal else on view apart from 2 beautiful marsh harriers

and over at Lodmoor were 4 distant spoonbills (though one did manage a fly pass) plus another pair of bearded tits!
