Unfortunately for the park and those that turned up to see the Bearded Tits today, they chose to make the most of the beautiful calm sunny day and depart. They were present in the same patch of reeds to start with but gradually became more flighty, moving between the reed beds at the north western end of the lake. They even headed off towards the reed beds in the Longbridge Sanctuary. The last sightings may have been around 9.00am?
