Penduline Tit - Stodmarsh, Kent

Had a couple of hours out today and headed to north Kent to see the Penduline Tit that had been showing well on and off for a few days. As it says on the tin, the bird showed well on and off for the hour plus I was there. The bird followed a tight pattern of feeding on the heads, then flying to a nearly tree, then off and out of sight. Then 15 minutes later a call could be heard and a few seconds later it would reappear in the tree, before heading back to the reeds for another feed. It followed this pattern 3 times in the time I was there.
 












The bird was amazingly camoflauged at times amongst the perfectly matching brown mace heads.

  3. Great photos, Martin. Hoping to go down on Saturday, although there doesn't appear to be any sightings of it today.
