Bearded reedling — size comparison — facts and sources
The male bearded reedling has cinnamon plumage, a grey head and two black patches that sweep down from below the eyes. The female is paler and lacks the black moustache marks. Both sexes have a long tail that extends well beyond the folded wings.
Bearded reedlings stay close to extensive reedbeds, where they also nest. They feed mostly on insects in spring and switch mainly to reed seeds in winter. In Poland the species is locally distributed, including in Western Pomerania, Greater Poland and Silesia.
