I decided to forget about the deer rut and the forest for a few days, so off to a watery world I was and got lucky. The bearded reedlings are prone to sleep in, until they get hungry. 🪶 #BeardedReedlings #baardmannetje

@alan678.bsky.social ‘s choice for #BirdOfTheDay is any bird in #ClassicMono. This bearded reedling hardly needed a filter, but sepia due to the glaring sun isn’t classic mono, so a filter it is. 🪶 #BeardedReedling #baardmannetje

Ik zag dit weekend heel veel baardmannetjes in de Oostvaardersplassen en ging vandaag zeetrektellen op de vulkaan. Daar zag ik voor het eerst vaaltjes! wat een goed weekend. #baardman #baardmannetje #vaalstormvogeltje #zeetrek #storm #vogels

A male bearded reedling, also in winter. It was a wonderful sunny cold day, no snow, no wind. And I could take pictures to my heart’s delight. 🪶 #BeardedReedling #baardmannetje
There’s a bit more chance of seeing bearded reedlings climbing higher in the reeds in winter. They are dependent on it for food. This is a female. 🪶 #BeardedReedling #baardmannetje
Second attempt. Almost there. But not quite. 🪶 #BeardedReedling #baardmannetje

From yesterday’s walk, a female juvenile #beardedreedling 🪶 #baardmannetje
I looked it up: the juvenile make bearded reedling has a distinctive orange beak and black eye patches. The female has a orangy-brownish beak and no distinctive black eye patches. As the male matures, the “beard” will form. 🪶 #beardedreedling #baardmannetje

The adults like to sleep in I found out, unless one of the males is assigned daddy daycare duty. I was lucky his shift was just starting. I only got one chance to snap 📷 though. 🪶 #beardedreedling #baardmannetje
