I think it could be all female Reed Buntings, but not sure.

Is this your Sanderling?

Agree. Brilliant case of bird flying in the face of habitat (although I also have seen a number of House Sparrows in reedbed).

Amazed, thanks!

I have another question then: I thought it was a female Reed Bunting, but maybe I'm wrong and it's also a House Sparrow?

(NB, this year I'm seeing much more House Sparrows than last year. As if their London population started to recover.)

Yes female Reed.
A big clue for the first birds, Reed Bunting dont show a white wing bar on flight (or perched!) .

House Sparrows often appear in reedbeds, probably to forage, if there's suitable habitat (i.e. human habitations) nearby.
