Bearded Tits - Axe Estuary

Two Bearded Tits in reeds at the north end of Colyford Common this morning. After spending a few minutes showing well in the Phragmites - perching on top on a couple of occasions - they flew off north, then back south east (possibly heading for the larger reed beds over the river?). A patch tick for me - I don't get many these days!

Also Fieldfare, few Redwing, two Brambling with large numbers of Skylark and a couple of Wood Pigeon flocks (totally c250 birds) over west.
