Hi,

Very snowy in the garden today and I saw two of these little birds very briefly. Only hung around for a few seconds so not long enough to get a decent shot, hence the rubbish pics but I think they might be reed buntings which would be a first for my garden. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes Reed Buntings. Quite a few are coming to gardens during this harsh weather.

Reed Bunting. I had these come into the garden during a severe winter spell in the early 1980s and not since (I did move house some years later).

Thanks for the quick responses. That's a new tick for my garden.
