I'm a bit confused by which bird this really is. It looks like a reed bunting but the head is not black all over like the one I posted yesterday. Any thoughts on what it is please. I would be very grateful as I've looked in my bird book and can't decide.
Thanks for all your kind comments and Favs - it is always much appreciated.
Yes Rosie, it is a male Reed Bunting as Phil said. Midway between winter and summer plumage, if he stays around, you will gradually see black feathers break through on his head. A great shot and a wonderful find. I haven't managed to tempt them into my garden apart from one soliarty male many years ago. Though I know in the winter certainly, there are a few within half a mile of my house.
