Peeping Bearded Tit

By BydoR9  
it ain't gonna win any awards, but I do like the peering eye from within the reeds - if a bit on the messy side. It at least does show the bird well in it's environment. I actually nearly binned this shot there and then when I took it. Glad I didn't though, as after a fairly heavy crop to make it vertical, I think it has made a decent image in the end.

It also typified the day - in that they hardly came out from the reeds at all! Smile
