Latin name: Panurus biarmicus
Size: Approximately 16cm
Distribution: Found mainly in the south and east of England.
Months seen: All year round.
Habitat: Reed beds.
Food: Insects and seeds.
Special features: The males have a grey head and a distinctive black
moustache, as well as black plumage under the tail. The females have a brown
head and lack the black plumage.
Bearded reedlings (or 'beardies' as they are often called) were formally known
as bearded tits. In fact they belong to the Asian family of 'parrotbills', and
have only recently been reclassified.
