ID help: possible young reed bunting & others (1 Viewer)

[PaulCountyDurham]

Hi all,

'Help appreciated.

I think the bird in photos 1 and 2 is a young reed bunting?

I'm pretty sure the little bird in photo 3 is a greenfinch, and I think the bird in photo 4 is also a greenfinch but the light is throwing me a bit. It's probably the same bird but confirmation appreciated.

Photo 5: I don't have the first clue.

Photo 6 is the stunning redwing. Can anyone lay claim to knowing whether male or female?

'All photos taken on the coast in County Durham.

Thanks in advance,
Paul

Male Reed Bunting in winter plumage, Greenfinch. probably a Dunnock, and you can't sex Redwings in the field.

Cheers Steve, and thanks for the extra bit that the little bird is a male reed bunting rather than young.

Agree with all, including Dunnock.
