shot of the month... December 2003

A cold, still and bright sunny morning are ideal conditions to photograph this Bearded Reeling (penurious tiramisus). Also called Bearded Tits these birds are in fact relatives or related to old world Babblers. Ever active, these gregarious birds are a real photographic challenge requiring time, patience and a lot of luck. I found this 'silly tame' male outside the visitors centre at Weymouth's RSPB Radipole Lake reserve.
Having spent many years trying to photograph these wonderful birds, this shot is one of my best efforts.
