An adult male Bearded Tit (Panurus biarmicus), also known as a Bearded Reedling, at Titchfield Haven National Nature Reserve, England, March 2023. There was a pair moving around the Reedmace in front of Spurgin hide at Eleven Acre Mere for some time. They were pulling off the fluffy seed bearing material from the Reedmace spike and discarding it. It was thought they were doing this to feed on insects hidden below the fluff on the spike.
