WELL EARNED SHUT EYE

After doing a night shift i had already planned on heading down to the patch and head off home lunch time for some well earned shut eye,when i got there it was covered in frost and ice,after getting out my car and meeting bryan east who ask me if i had a bird book,i ask why so he explained that a guy had taken a photo of a bearded tit with a black mask,straight away i told bryan what it was,i was soon on my heading towards feast hide, bumping into the photography and he showed me the photo,yep it sure was a PENDULINE TIT ask him what time he took his photo,he said about 9ish and it flew off,with this info i sat myself in the hide and waited and waited no show,so i went for walk and looking and checking every reed mace i could find no luck,so i headed back to the hide and spoke to frank explaining no show,just as i ended the call it popped up trying to rip open the reed mace but with little success and soon flew off after about ten minutes or so,with this i pop it on the bird news and soon people started to arrive steve ray rob who i gave the heads up to earlier, we sat there for over a hour with no sign,i was started feeling a little worse for wear with zero sleep so i left bumping into sue and richard just as i got back to my car sue text me to say it come back,so it was a mad dash back as it was giving super views,a bird which we had seen before at grove and stodmarsh but not good few years,it was well worth not sleeping today so finally got to bed at half three knackered
