Ornithology

A number of G O T members were delighted when sightings of the Bearded Tit were made earlier this year.

It had been assumed to be extinct yet rapidly spread through the U K's main cities south of Hadrian's Wall.

It now appears to be under severe threat once again. Can any twitchers suggest remedial action?

I can only guess which way this will go..

You may possibly get two or three sensible posts mate !.

Sympathetic management of their reed beds is a big thing, seeing as they spend their whole life in them. However hard winters decimate them. If we get a mild winter the population will go up again, it's the natural order of things. Places like Leighton Moss in Lancashire have almost got a population by default, as the reed beds there were primarily managed for the Bitterns and the Bearded Tits were a spin off.

You may get a couple more sensible posts, however I wouldn't bank on it !

It's a bit like real twitching this. I've been watching this thread for what seems like ages now waiting for a brief glimpse........
