Bearded Tit

After first seeing a pair at Rainham early January, I waited a number of weeks for a sunny, calm day for optimum photography conditions. It took over an hour in freezing conditions to re-locate the pair but after that it was pure heaven watching and photographing them. Unfortunately, they'd chosen a reedbed where the strong sun was almost in front of me, hence the blown whites of the reedmace in order to expose for the bird.
