Am I right in thinking the bottom bird is a female Cirl and not Reed bunting. I was thinking face pattern is more like a Cirl.
Didn't take much notice at the time as I was playing around with a new digiscoping bit of kit and only saw the lower bird whilst going through hoards of photos

It looks like it, you have the male there and they're often seen together.

It's a spot I go to often, and I can distinguish the birds easily normally, just this photo confused me??? There are Reed Buntings there also!!
