Bearded Tits at Farlington Marshes

Yesterday morning I visited Farlington Marshes to see the Bearded Tits. The flock started feeding on the far side of the reed bed, too far for my lens. Later we were rewarded when a flock of about 20 birds moved to the reed bed 10 metres from the fence. The next 23 minutes was a Bearded Tit fest. A huge flock of Brent Geese landed on the lake and then took off. A Wren, a Reed Bunting and a Little Egret also appeared.
