Penduline Tit, Crossness NR

I spent the best part of four hours on the 22nd February searching the dipping pond and Nature Reserve either side of Eastern Way failing miserably to find the Penduline Tit. 

The Penduline Tit continued to be reported on a daily basis so another visit to Crossness Nature Reserve was made this morning hoping for better luck. After another lengthy search, our luck did change! The penduline tit was heard calling from the reeds left of the viewing screen and soon it's seen in flight and lands in a Hawthorn close by.



It soon takes flight and begins feeding among the reed mace at the back of the pool. 










Two visits and over seven hours searching finally paid off.
