Physical Characteristics The Bearded Tit is a brown, long-tailed bird with a grey blue head, usually seen flying rapidly across the top of a reed bed. Males have black moustache-like markings rather than beards. Habitat Bearded Tits are found only in reed beds across Southern England & parts of Europe where they both feed & breed. Behaviour Bearded Tits are sociable & noisy, their 'ping'-style calls often being the first clue to their presence. They are particularly vulnerable to severe winters as they do not migrate to warmer climes & their population has declined in recent years. Breeding The Bearded Tit is a wetland specialist, breeding colonially in large reed beds by lakes or swamps. Diet Bearded Tits eat insects, insect larvae, spiders & seeds. It mainly eats reed aphids in summer & reed seeds in winter; its digestive system changing to cope with the very different seasonal diets. Strange & Interesting Facts The Bearded Tit is also known as the The Bearded Reedling, however despite its resemblance to other members of the Tit family, research actually showed it to be a unique songbird
