Reed Bunting male
Another treat for me was to see so many Reed Buntings up close. They'r usually rather distant specks on top of a reed on the far side of a loch LOL.

I've never seen them at feeders here, I suppose because I don't know any reserves where they have them!! It's a few years since I got a decent picture of one I think.

There does seem to be a really healthy population of them at Sculthorpe.

Lovely image of this RB, Delia, if it's the feeding station at Sculthorpe that I'm thinking of, you probably saw a fair few Bullfinches as well?

A beautiful, frontal closeup of this Bunting D. A great turn of the head as well. ;)
